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.

I was walking down my street, I looked into the sky and saw 5 green dots moving a lot faster than the speed of a regular commercial airliner, and even faster than most jets. The dots were completely silent. Upon looking closer at the dots, I noticed that to each of the 5 dots, there were 3 orbs composing the dots. The orbs were making weird circling motions around each other. The craft(s) were moving east.
