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.

Took dogs out back and looked up at the sky and noticed a single light flying south of my house approximately 30k ft or about the height of airplanes. The single light did not blink and the UFO was swerving and make twirls in the air. As the UFO was flying you could see a black silhouette of what appeared to be a Triangle as the craft kept going the light faded out and could not see the craft at all. 20-30 seconds later an airplane appeared heading north from from possibly a mile or two from where the UFO disappeared, as if it was hiding from the plane. Please note as the UFO flew over there was no sound or engine noise from it but as soon as the plane flew over you could clearly hear its engines.

Standing in my backyard with 2 daughters, whistling for our cat this evening. We were outside for about 10 minutes at 9:30 pm(04/20/2020). We heard our cat meowing very close then very far- seconds apart - we thought something had got her and moved her- because she was meowing really close to our lawn again- I looked up and noticed a grey rainbow in the sky above us & told my girls to look because it was really odd to see in the night sky. We kept hearing our cat very close and seconds later very far away. After about 10 minutes trying to get her in, I was still looking in the woods when I saw an extremely white triangular light coming from the woods- I froze thinking who is driving in the woods- then common sense kicked in and I thought- there is no way any vehicle could drive through the woods as it is so dense- and I could not comprehend the shape of the light coming towards us-it was the point of a triangle of white light - lighting up the entire woods -! coming towards us- at that point I turned- yelled to my girls to get in the house- they were yelling, running and asking me if I saw the bright yellow lights lighting the tree tops up- It was very surreal -

Was driving home when a light, much brighter than a star suddenly appeared. The sky was overcast and absolutely no stars or the moon were visible, yet this light was plainly there, but appeared to be within or above the clouds. It then vanished and reappeared. Then vanished for good.
