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.

Circle of light floating in the sky just below the clouds instantaneously zipped across the sky leaving a trail of light across the otherwise dark desert sky. Just like the jump to light speed in a science fiction movie. It was like a shooting star but it was in our atmosphere moving parallel to the earths surface.

Mostly in line but not all. Mostly evenly spaced but not exactly. Disappeared at a point in the sky. Moved about the same speed as a jet. Not sure how far away the objects were.
