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.

My mother and I were stargazing and noticed a bright light to above us going north. It was brighter than a satallite or plane/copter. We watched it go north towards some incoming line of clouds that had "heat lighting" flashes. The unidentified light stopped, quickley traveled west for 5 seconds, came to abrupt stop, moved east in a wave pattern for about 10 seconds, then went into the line of clouds until it's light faded and we lost track of it. It was almost as if it was trying to decide if it wanted to go into the clouds. Made my heart race and the hair stand up on my arms while watching it. Not usually what we see out in the country.
