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.

A silent, glowing, oval object was seen. It was slower and higher than a plane.

Bright white round light about 3x-5x the size of brightest aircraft lights, alternatively flashing and solid but stationary, then switched to red lights similar to aircraft but extremely fast travel and a flight path that had a very sharp zig-zag and then continued out of sight. Jaw dropping. Assuming a highly capable military drone but just wondering if anyone else saw anything.

I was driving on Rt 95N (aka 128) between Rt 9 and the Mass Turnpike (RT.90) when I saw a cylinder with a greenish flaming trail flying very fast in the sky from east to west. The nose looked like the our spaceships as they re-enter our atmosphere burning white hot. It was just above the horizon going very fast but not too high. Only for 15 to 20 seconds, then it appeared to go pouf in the sky.

Just a note - I'm an engineer with a graduate degree and a I'm generally a rational person. I was not under the influence of anything when I observed this and was in good health. I viewed this object from a second-floor bedroom window to ground level on a dark night. No reflective surfaces were nearby. Object was 2-1/2 to 3 feet long, perhaps 6-7" wide on average, mostly oblong, transparent white with amorphous "fuzzy" borders. Its motion was generally slow and steady and it was moving along shrubbery/plants with occasional pauses. I wondered if my eyes were not focusing and if it was some kind of whitish rabbit or mink, which would have been highly unusual but not out of the question, but then its shape altered, kind of how a bubble alters as it's being blown from a wand, if that makes sense; it's size did not change appreciably. After moving along the garden, it came toward the house along a perpendicular line (for the most part.) Once it came close enough I could no longer see it; I went downstairs to ground level and did not see it. I returned upstairs and it was no longer in view. It is hard to describe how it moved, but when I went snorkeling recently, I realized the movement of fish along a coral reef was strikingly similar. So I don't know if it was actually on the ground per se, or perhaps just above it.

Looking out the window, I could see a fairly large round/oval shape floating across the sky. It was lit up as if there were lots of smaller lights lighting it up and there was one brighter light circling around the inside. It was bluish-green. Never seen it before.

Slow moving object in the sky, appeared as a star, but didn't flash like a star usually does. Was moving in a SE direction. Also wasn't flashing like an aircraft.
