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.

Looking out of my back window I saw one silvery disc like object floating above my back field, I then went outside to get a better look I saw that it seemed to be floating forward in a straight line eastward with absolutely no sound, the ambient noise even seemed to be gone. I then tried to take a video and took a picture instead, when I switched to video and got the object back in frame it then disappeared entirely. I am a 42 year old Marine Corps veteran.
