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.

A SKYWATCH team in Connecticut was conducting routine observations and running equipment tests on older and newer skywatch systems. They were tracking a conspicuous orange twinkling orb at around 22:00 hours (10:00 pm local), 02:00 UTC. The object on the western horizon first caught the attention of one of the group, who quickly alerted the rest of the team. Another team member had the night vision camera running with a tripod-mounted 20" flat screen with the NV camera on top. At first the orb was stationary. Once the target was moving, they had to manually track it on-screen, as it slowly moved from left to right (W-N). As it moved to the right it decreased in altitude. At one point the motion was described as "fell like a leaf". They watched it until it went below the tree line and out of sight. No noise was ever heard from the object.

The third and highest one was almost directly overhead. These three were observed for a few hours and did not really move, but seems to stay in place. However, when you focused really sharply with your eyes you could see some sort of diamond shaped object move and twitch erratically in a very limited area. I was standing still and kept my eyes focused and watched them move and twitch many times. About and hour after seeing the initial light several 12+ lighted "craft" at close range were seen by myself and 3 others flying over head east to west and near the full moon. These had flashing red and white triangular lights. Some were low to the ground, o! thers flew over a field and over my house from behind the trees. A fourth light and others were seen hovering in the sky almost as if to form a line or pattern.
