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.

Had arrived outside my home at roughly 8:26 or 8:27pm on November the 5th, 2023. I had parked my car in the street, with the driver's side facing South. I had gathered my things and stepped outside my vehicle. When I closed the door, I had been facing south. A single, large orb of white light was spotted in the Southeast, above a neighbor's house. It appeared to be stationary. The orb then began to travel east, accelerating as it did. The object then made a fish hook maneuver down and then towards the West before vanishing from sight. There were no other witnesses present, and the entire event lasted less than a minute in length. Other than the sight of the object and the fish hook path it took, nothing else was deemed unusual. Observer is a white male, in his early 30s. Does not have superstitious or supernatural proclivities. Has observed meteorological phenomenon in area before; including comets, meteor showers, and a shooting star. There are also several airports in the region, as well an FAA tech center. There is also occasional air traffic from Coast Guard aircraft.

Bright sphere appeared closer and brighter than surrounding stars; was a bright white twinkling light with smaller flashing green light. Stayed in one general location, but slowly hovered from side to side, up and down, in its location. Was not ‘en route’ like an airplane, but hovered in its location above Bordentown, NJ.

While sitting outside I noticed two bright lights in the sky in front of me. They were round and bright, the one higher up was larger than the one below it. They were just sitting there, blinking occasionally. I came in and watched them on the monitor. Then the little one starting moving away toward the trees and disappeared. The big one started moving in same direction but kept going.

Took my dog out and noticed 2 extremely bright red lights in the SE about 20 degrees up from horizon. They looked to be moving towards me so I ran in the house to get my camera and when I came back out the lights were gone. I waited and within 5 minutes another red light appeared behind a tree, about 30 degrees up, so I ran out to the street but when I got to a point to view the object it blinked out.
