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.

I was walking my dog and looked up into the sky. I saw an object traveling North in the sky. It was light blue and rectangular in shape It was 3 dimensional like a shipping container. It was traveling at what appeared to be the height and speed of airplanes. There was no trail behind it. It seemed to be very large.

While looking at western sky with my binoculars, I spotted a dark triangle tracking from north to south. The object was almost see through and had no lights. No sound was heard what so ever. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

It was late. I was outside on the side of my house. I was smoking a cigarette when I noticed a bluish light...it was bright enough to make me notice. Then in a matter of a second the light was coming from above the trees. It was so bright I had to squint my eyes. It lite up the two trees that were directly in front of me. I got up out of the chair I was sitting in and leaned over the porch balcony and nothing was there. It was dark again. I saw no cars coming in or leaving my development. It scared me.

I went outside for fireworks and saw one that wasn't exploding. It was just sitting still in the sky and not moving. Then it changed color and moved in a triangular pattern at 70+mph without accelerating and it made a sudden stop without decelerating. It changed the light color multiple time and went out occasionally. It was followed by a larger object that circled the 2 smaller ones.
