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 looking North/East. Round silver disk was following a jet that had just taking off from PHL airport. It was probably a quarter mile behind the jet. The jet was northbound, moving from my right to the left. It followed the jet for a few miles, then it suddenly dropped straight down, then disappeared. There were no lights, the sun was reflecting off of it. Very much in focus. It's size was a quarter of the jet. Then, for whatever reason, my eyes were drawn to the North, where I saw 2 more of the same disk following another jet heading West, they were 2 fingers apart. Then 'they' stopped and started moving in the opposite direction towards the North/East. One moved in a straight course, while the other moved erratically in all directions, keeping close to the other one. They were moving at a moderate speed. I followed them for 2 hand widths until they disappeared behind a tree. Mind you, I am 68, I do not drink, nor do drugs. I did not imagine these craft. You may contact me if you wish. Thanks.

While going for my nightly walk, in the sky I noticed three sets of four lights in the clouds (12 lights total). The lights moved in a clockwise circular pattern, drifted out to a fixed perimeter, and drifted into the center of the circular formation. There were three sets, two of which, when at their fullest 'bloom' touched each other. The other seemed to be separated, from the group. I was alone on my walk, but there were other people in the area. I did not ask them if they noticed the lights, because my neighborhood is not always the safest place.
