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.

I was outside in the backyard, and I looked up at the sky to look at stars and to try to see airplanes. I observed two stars to the southwest and one airplane possibly a commercial plane directly above me. I could tell it was an airplane because it had a blinking red light on the bottom and the wing lights were red and green. I then noticed more lights moving and observed an unidentified flying object crossing my field of vision from the south heading northwest. It was two pairs of amber lights flying at a seemingly slow pace. It would have had to be daylight to be sure but I am reasonably confident that the object was above the usual altitude for VFR flight but it seemed much closer and larger than a commercial aircraft which would place it somewhere between two and six thousand feet in my estimation. I have had some ground school and flight sim experience but not enough to identify altitudes at night confidently. The object increased in speed and flew off ! to the northwest.

I was walking my dog southbound on the west side of a residential street. I often stargaze when walking and was looking up at the super moon when a light caught the corner of my eye. I looked southeast and saw what appeared to be a searchlight sweeping to the west. It had a peculiar rounded diamond shape at the head but was a round light beam off into the distance behind a row of houses. It appeared to be very distant, but was low and rising as it went west, it faded away from the back and disappeared to my southwest. The beam of light was very bright, like a searchlight at a casino or car dealership, but it was very focused and dense. It disappeared after only a few seconds.
