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.

Went to purchase a mini bike from online seller with a friend. When I arrived I noticed a triangle craft heading east that I pointed out to a friend who was with me who doesn’t really believe (until now) I on the other hand am fascinated by this stuff and I’ve watched every documentary! Seen similar object recently where I live but never got a video until tonight. Even purchased trail cam recently to watch the night sky. Thought the craft was out of sight so we got what we needed and left about 15 mins later. When we got out on the back road, the same looking object seemed to be following us! Now heading west! Videoed what I could but I was trying to drive on a country back road and record so unfortunately didn’t get the best but it’s more than I’ve ever gotten before. Genuinely feel like what I saw tonight with another person is the closest I’ve ever come to seeing a legit ufo! Object accelerated very fast then slowed down and even went straight up! Triangle lights at first but second time it looked more like a saucer with lights strobing horizontal.

Around 7pm tonight, I heard what I thought was a plane flying close to the house. The noise got closer and louder sounding almost like a big truck and the house started shaking. Very quickly after that I heard a high pitch sound and could hear the object soar over the house very fast. While I was hearing this my husband was in the bedroom and looked out the window. He came out to me and asked, "What the hell was that?" He described what he saw as an object with very bright lights flying very low slowly heading south in the neighborhood and stop over where our house is and turn west and take off very fast over top our house and our neighborhood. We went out back and could see nothing anymore but heard a jet start up on pax naval base. Within a few seconds we saw the jet start circling around the area. That lasted at least 15-20 minutes. The base saw something pop up on radar that the was not supposed to be there. Very weird.
