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.

10+ String of lights across the sky. 3-4 more off in the distance to the left. Was visible for over 10 minutes. Moved from West to East. Not sure if it was Starlink.

I was smoking outside of the restaurant where I manage. I was looking up and a white ball of light grew out of the darkness. Then a green trail of light appeared in the center of the white light which had continued to grow. A craft with a single white light then left the area. The White circle of light continued to grow and looked like a giant ball of fog. Everything faded away within 5 minutes. The green trail remained the longest. US Navy missile launch. PD

On October 6th, 2014, ((sic. November 06th, 2014)) around 10:30 pm I was driving east bound on interstate 40 just about 7 miles east of Needles, California, I was going to do a job on a big rig that was broke down on the rode which is pretty common for me to go out at all hours, many times when I have been on the road at night I do see falling stars, well on this night while me and my son were driving we both saw an object in front of us about ten miles ahead across the mountain top a bright green light going straight down at a very hight rate of speed and disappeared behind the mountain, at first my son said did you see that falling star and stated wow I never seen one like that before dad, and I replied, son that was no falling star or shooting star, that was something I have never seen, my guess is as it seemed to not slow down at all as we seen it that it must have hit the ground on the other side of the mountain top, no noise was herd and for the next few minutes while driving saw not! hing else. I have my theories, but will keep them to my self.
