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 driving East and the sun was beginning to rise. I frequently take pictures of the sunrise, so I was looking in anticipation for the right moment. When I looked up, a small reddish orange light appeared in the dark sky. The light then moved down and up again and disappeared. The shape it formed was a tight letter U. The light was on the right what it appeared then went slightly down and straight up to the left as if it made a letter U. I then looked for afterburner smoke trail but there was nothing in the sky. The whole view only lasted about 2 seconds. It was quick.
