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 looked out my window and spotted this yellow orb with red and blue lights around it in the same place that my sister and I spotted another UFO back in 2005. So this caught my attention I watched it for about 30 seconds as it stayed completely stationary. Then suddenly it started moving up and down, and then very quickly moved straight across the sky to the left very quickly much much faster than an airplane could travel. I went to get my phone, and when I returned, it was gone.

09/20/20 Riverton WY, around 3:30 pm. Walking around outside in town limits. Looked toward the east and witnessed a dull metallic spherical shaped object, stationary in the sky. The object had no lights on it, but reflected light from the sun. Used a light pole as reference, determined the object was not moving. Watched for approximately 10 minutes while moving to 2 different angles. After 10 minutes the object was lost in light cloud cover.

Driving South toward Riverton, saw 8-10 lights off different colors (orange, blue, green). They were moving North and at varied altitude. Watched them for approximately a minute and then they were not visible any longer.

Northwest of Riverton, Wyoming, myself and a passenger saw 7 orange, and yellow lights in the sky. First we both thought they were airplanes, but one was near by and the like coming off of it was completely different. All seven lights we were watching we're moving around in a gyrating type motion. Eventually they started fading out one by one until they were all gone. Not the first time I've seen this personally in the area. Just unusual to see it from inside of town with all of the light pollution.
