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.

Southampton, NY
Fast moving fireball very low in sky, no sound, no crash. Headed south towards Atlantic Ocean. It looked like it could be a meteor, or shooting star, but was large and was so low it would have made a large explosion if it hit earth. It had a fire tail streaking after it.
