Ask for the records
What would the paper say?
For a dated, located U.S. sighting, FAA radar data and ATC communications are the records most likely to exist. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.

A triangular-shaped huge object (the size of a football field) hovered just above the tree tops with flashing red lights. It made no sound and then vanished. Approximately 10 minutes later what looked like the same or an identical object hovered over my house, moved very slowly and disappeared again. Approximately 10 minutes later we saw what appeared to be the same object but was miles away in the sky and we recorded that on video. You can only see the red flashing lights from the video.
