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.

Noticed while riding passenger in a vehicle a incredibly shiny round object in the sky. I watched it for several seconds then notice that it moved incredibly fast to a different location in the sky then moved back for about two seconds, then after that it was gone. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
