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.

Stover, MO
March 1, 2016, 6:05 pm, 16 miles SW of Stover, MO. Observed a cylinder shaped object just north of our home, about 300 feet above the cove hovering, than object did a turn to the right than left and it had 3 bright yellow lights on the rear as it moved north and then vanished. It was still light out and the sun was reflecting off of the object. I got a side view and it had large cylinder main body, and 2 smaller cylinders on each side and appeared that all three were connected. Triangle shaped lights on the rear as it moved away. No noise and had no wings. Very large craft. Larger than a passenger jet. I observed it for 30 seconds before it vanished.

I live just south of Stover, MO, in the woods, in a 2nd story building. I saw numerous orbs of orange lights appearing and disappearing to the S-SE of my home. I went out on my deck to attempt to film them, but the trees got in my way, and the camera wouldn't focus is such dull light. A lot of aircraft traffic starting immediately after the first orange orb appeared. High altitude jets circled back and forth for at least the last ten minutes. At one point, the clouds above the horizon where the orbs appeared and disappeared lit up a few times, as if the orbs were in the clouds. I have no idea what to think. While it was happening, the entire forest seemed to start calling. Coyotes and owls, birds that are usually silent at this late evening hour. They all suddenly stopped after the last orb seemed to just disappear. I came inside because I got cold, and my camera battery seemed to suddenly drain. It is now 7:38pm and there are still jets canvassing back and forth. I've witnessed several USAF exercises, and none of them involved orange orbs. This doesn't seem like "night training/drills" to me and those were definitely not "flares" or "blank incendiary devices" - I've saw those before. These orbs look nothing like the blanks or flares.
