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.

Oct 29, 2017, I was awake at 5:45 am. As I was looking outside where it was very dark and then the lawn was flickering with light. It lasted about 4 seconds. This area is probably 100’ x 200’, and the house sits in the middle. The light was not extremely bright, and it seemed to come from over the house, as if a helicopter was hovering over the house (there was none) and there was no sound.. Then I looked out beyond the yard and saw a large star north east of Mt. Shasta very low in the sky slowly go straight down very slowly behind the mountains that are about 10 miles away.

I was watching one of those flashing "disco in the sky" lights for a few hours, while outside on a porch with friends looking into the sky east past Shasta. It seemed very suspicious, as the lights were even flashing between colors, it was very far off and it stayed in a "constellation" with 2 background stars as the constellations rose from the east. At about 3:30am, a second flashing light flew up from the south, they did a dance, and the second one replaced the first one. The first one then greatly dropped altitude at around a 20 degree angle from vertical down and then took off straight east towards Nevada at a much lower altitude skimming the mountain top. Pretty much the only popultion center is the I-5 corridor so it isn't hard to do some basic trig to hide in constellations. Now that I've seen one of these they seem to be all over N. California.

Driving back from Los Angeles to Portland. Evening before I experienced several hours of missing time. I was traveling on I5 like I had many times. I don't remember going through Sacramento CA & ended up off I 5 up in the mountains with 50 miles to Reno. I had serveral missed phones calls & was very confused. When I traveled back to IT and continued to watch the blood moon through my car sunroof when just about 40 miles south of Weed, CA I spotted this saucer shape. I was able to make out 2 humanoid shaped figures inside the craft. I took several pictures. And observed the craft for about 6-10 minutes before it was no longer in view.

We saw the craft at first it was bright red and hovering over a hill then the red light shut off. There was no lights at all but we could see that the craft was still there. Then there was three green light on each point and they were slowly getting brighter but it passed over the hill so we couldn't the craft anymore.
