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.

MY VIDEOS WILL NOT UPLOAD. PLEASE CONTACT ME SO I CAN SEND On my way home I looked in the sky to see what first looked like a small, thin, eye shaped jet stream from a plane. As I got closer I noticed there was no plane and this was not a cloud as it was solid and well defined in shape. Was also completely still. I recorded to the best of my ability. You can see in the footage what looks like 2 identical white streaks in the sky. I don’t think they were from a plane for 2 reasons. One is they didn’t appear to be moving. (If anything the one on the right may have been a trail but the left one was NOT). The second reason is, You can perfectly see the object on the right of the highway, however when I pan to the left object, and move directly back to the right object, it seems to have disappeared. After looking closer and stopping the footage, I noticed it was there but much fainter and lower to the tree line, but still not moving. Before this it was the solid color the whole time. There were planes witnessed in the same area that didn’t leave trails . I later pulled over to observe multiple “blinking” starts dancing with each other and moving in quick zig-zag motions.

It looks like a Star Trek type of craft. It had blue and red lights on it. At first I thought it was a plane but it was hovering over Chase Bank at the Bergen Town Center. It wasn't that high up either. I was in a moving car but I could definitely see it hovering, even while I was at a stop light. I didn't hear any noise coming from the craft either. Two other witness saw the same thing. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

From NJ - Looking to the western sky, I saw, what appeared to be 2 comets or fireballs streaking across the sky! At first I thought they were jets reflecting the sun's light. They were much to bright, as if on fire, and the "tails" were glowing as well. At a 45 degree angle, they remained in the sky until they went over the horizon. Then, I saw a 3rd one in the Southwestern sky. It to remained in the sky. About 30 minutes passed and then 4 more meteors or comets appeared out of nowhere and also remained in the sky. From my perspective, looking west, they were traveling left to right toward the sun. Did anyone else see these?
