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.

I was walking outside in the morning with my brother, it was not very bright outside because it was earlier in the morning, and we were about to leave for a morning walk when I noticed that there was a shining light high above the trees around the property, I pointed it out to him and he noticed it too. I turned around and saw my dog barking a lot from inside the glass door. I was surprised because he is usually a quiet dog. My brother filmed the object with his cell phone until it moved upwards in the same spot and vanished into the clouds. After the event, the sky was noticeably brighter after only two minutes of being outside. I looked at my watch and about fifteen minutes had passed, but the recording on my brothers phone was only 2 minutes long.

I was driving to my girlfriend after work. I was driving on rt70 e getting close to the first circle, I saw lights in the sky across the circle. I thought it was a helicopter because it was not moving but the lights looked strange. I went around the circle back onto rt70 the ufo was on my left a little way out. It looked very long, saw two large white lights on each side with multiple blueish green lights. I traveled up to the next circle and got onto rt72,I traveled about 12 miles and then I saw a ufo fly straight across, it also had two white light's that were pulsing and many green lights covering it. I traveled about 3 more miles, I was checking my mirrors and I noticed something in my rear view mirror. It looked like it was pretty far behind, It was coming towards me then it turned off the side into the woods. It had two horizontal orange lights and white lights on each side. It made no noise.

Object was high (one to two thousand feet?). Was metallic. Kept having aura flash around it which would obscure the flying object entirely but not due to blinding light (possibly due to sun?), but at least 40 times this happened. No sound, no trails. Hovered overhead and then eventually kept going (not at fast speed). Again probably a drone...but odd. Plenty of pictures of the event on phone.
