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 driving down the expressway south on 83 near New Hampshire street and from far left in the sky a very large bright green light moving at a fast speed went all the way from far left of my vision to far right, and it was so low and so large that i thought it was going to crash into the earth, and just when i prepared for impact it looked as if it burnt out. I have seen many shooting stars in my life, but this was much bigger and much closer to the ground, i know there must be many others that seen it as well..
