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 our dog with my daughter on the corner of via Buho and Via Coyote in Coto de Caza CA 92679 at 5:56 PM when we noticed a string of lights going across the sky in the Western sky. The lights were a significant distance away and I estimate where the length of about 15 airplanes given the far distance from the earth. There were approximately 15 lights were white with no color. I snapped a photo with my iPhone at exactly 5:58 PM Pacific time. Because of the dark sky and the distance the picture does not show anything but a black area. We noticed a string of lights with the lights towards the front center being slightly brighter than the very front and the tail behind. The string of lights were moving from west to southeast at approximately the height regular airplanes would fly. There was no sound emanating from the lights that we could discern. The lights were white in color. They moved in a string very steady without any obvious acceleration. Aft! er approximately 1 to 2 minutes the lights faded into the night. The lights appeared to maintain a relatively steady elevation, but may have been going up slightly diagonal across the sky.

Saw them as I turned down a road in our community. 3 spheres in a triangle formation not moving. Then one started to slowly move up and away. I pulled over behind a couple of other cars that had stopped. The first one was gone when I got my camera out. The second one then started to rise . I tried to drive home to get my binoculars as I lived close. Gone when I got in position again. I did get one picture (attached). They were white and seemed kind of fuzzy changed to slight orangish as the rose away.
