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.

Saw several lights floating from the southeast to the east direction. Could not hear any sound and did not appear to be Starlink. Lights were observed for 2-3 minutes and disappeared out of view as they drifted east. [NUFORC annotation: Searchlight - Possible]

Heavy thunderstorm in area (rare event) sky was clear but gray, light rain but sounds of thunder. Object looked like a cluster of bubbles, it was still just hovering but spinning towards my right. It was dark metal grey, no lights or other movement or noise . I got chills and looked away and went back indoors because i got the chills from being startled by such object. Whatever it was it was advanced technology. Didn’t look like drone or helicopter, and was definitely not a balloon.

Light was visible above my home. Looked like a star at first, but it was moving slowly across the sky. Not fast enough for a comet or asteroid, and too high for a plane or helicopter. Went approx. 50 feet across the sky (relative to me) then faded away.

I saw a single blue diamond shaped object flashing in the distance above the tree line. It stayed still for a couple seconds and then it moved across the sky for a short distance and remained stationary for a few minutes. I had to leave and could not watch it leave. I have the video to prove what I saw.
