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.

Took brief walk before sunrise and stopped to look at clear, cloudless sky. Saw several bright stars and possibly planets. Then noted one, about as bright as Venus, was actually moving toward the ENE at or near the speed of a high altitude jetliner. The single white light never blinked, and after it passed slowly overhead, I still heard no sound. Shortly after it first appeared to be moving, it may have veered slightly off course twice, and there may have been one or two tiny white lights moving near it, but not certain about either of those observations because my vision is not flawless. Checked my phone for the time, but preferred to watch the moving light, rather than attempt a photo. Later checked Flightradar24 website, which showed no flights near Cape Cod at that time, and the In the Sky satellite tracking website, which showed only one satellite heading NE well off the coast of Cape Cod near that time.

Have recently started taking brief walks before sunrise. Because the air was exceptionally clear this morning, I stopped to look at the sky, and noticed a white light moving on a steady straight line approximately W to E. The speed was similar to a plane passing high overhead, but it didn’t appear to be a plane, and I did not hear any sound as I watched it, or for a few seconds later. It was a non-blinking white light, or tight grouping of lights. At one point when it was directly overhead, it seemed to be shaped like a small elongated triangle. I checked my cell phone for the time, 5:43, but did not attempt to take a photo. Later I used the Plane Finder website, which did not show any nearby plane flight paths at the time I saw this light. Perhaps it was a passing satellite.

Two circular flying object. The first one appeared and moved low across the sky and horizontally, the second appeared and followed the exact same path, then paused at the end and hovered back and forth. Both spectators were complete skeptics, who do not believe in any sort of supernatural or extraterrestrial. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
