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.

An observed object in the western sky, 20 degrees above the horizon. Multicolored flashing light that appeared stationary. Had my wife confirm through 10 x 50 Bushnell binoculars. Checked 22:30 hours and lights had moved to Northwest and again appeared stationary. The object was there at 23:00 hours western Connecticut, possibly Westchester, NY.
