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.

Standing in my yard talking to my neighbor, we tend to look up. We saw a lit up craft traveling northeast at a fast velocity. Then, by my fence, facing south above a large tree on the corner of my eye as my neighbor is looking south east, a huge bright white/blueish flash went off above the tree and a ray if light same color as described, pretty wide ray of light traveled south right after the flash, my neighbor looks south west and sees a craft darting off west. It shook me to the core, it was low, bright flash that lit up the sky, like a flash from a camera. I had goose bumps and got a little scared, it was intense.

These lights stood over my house for a good 15 seconds then they simply vanished. In my sighting I saw a tiny yellow ball then following it was a medium redish, orangey bright light riding next to the same exact object.. Then there was a big reddish orangey ball of light at the end with a tiny yellowish ball at the end of the whole thing.
