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.

Took the dog out to pee. Looked up to the west at the stars and saw a stream of lights single file traveling at a slow rate of speed moving from south headed north. There was no sound. They would appear from the south travel north and disappear. I ran inside to get my phone and came back out to take a video but couldn’t see any on my screen. So I ran back inside and got my camera and though I couldn’t see them on my screen I was able to get one picture of one of them. After they had all flown by I called my wife to tell her what I saw. I came inside for a few minutes and went back outside for another look. I saw them all at once at a high altitude in a single file making like a single line. Then they faded out.

I was on my way home from a date around 1:30 Saturday morning. In Bauxite, I turned left at the light onto W Sardis Rd. As I was driving, I happened to look up and I saw this enormous amount of light in a near distance. I knew it wasn't a shooting star or a plain because I had never seen anything like it! This light was a pinkish purplish color and very bright. Nothing but light. The light seemed like it was falling from space down to Earth. For a second I thought it could have been a meteor or something like that, but then it just disappeared. It just disappeared instantly. I believe that it was a UFO sighting, and I will continue to believe this until there is some way to prove the enormous odd colored light heading for Earth's surface and then disappearing.
