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.

The night sky was mostly clear, with the occasional cloud. I do not wear glasses and had nothing to impair my vision. I was out admiring how unusually bright the night sky was - I could see the Pleiades and the surrounding nearby stars clearly, the moon was giving me a shadow, and Mars had a more distinct red glow than usual. After going inside, I came back out to view the Pleiades and saw that it was covered by clouds, so I waited. And as I was waiting, a star caught my eye that appeared to be moving across the night sky. I thought to myself "oh, cool, I wonder what satellite that is" and pulled out my phone to see which one, and nothing came up for that area. After putting my phone down, I saw something bizarre - it began to move in a different direction. Then it stopped, and moved in a DIFFERENT direction. And again, and again, each time at varying speeds. It did serpentine motions, loops; it would slow down to a stop and then zip off a few inches in the other direction. It would disappear behind clouds and reappear on an unexpected edge. My jaw was on the floor because I don't know how to explain that! I don't even know if I believe in UFOs, but what else could it be? Nothing in the regular night sky moves like that! It started near the Pleiades, meandered like that past the star Menkar, and back. Towards the end of my viewing, it had spent around 5 minutes moseying around one point, but it was still moving like it had been when I went inside. Honestly, I'm tense and shocked. I didn't manage to get any photos or video because I don't own a camera professional enough to capture the stars in the sky without long exposure.
