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.

Set the alarm by back sliding door and noticed a moving starlike object. No colored or blinking lights. It passed behind a tall tree and then another similar object followed the exact path as the first one. I kept watching and counted 10 objects that seemed to come from nowhere just appear out of the blackness and take exact path same speed as previous light. I never saw 2 lights together the following light would come after the previous light had disappeared. Event lasted approx 7 minutes.
