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.

We were camping in Idaho City (we being 4 friends), over at Grimes Creek campgrounds, the opposite direction from our local Airforce base away from light polution. We saw 2 lights traveling at the same speed with a bit of distance between each other and noticed another one breach the atmosphere and fall into the same pace, distance and speed. We proceeded to watch it happen 5 more times, all of the lights traveled at the same speed and distance from each other in a straight line not straying from their path, until branching off and dispersing into different locations. Once they were there they started moving and dissapeared from site.
