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 east, aircraft flying south at 9:45 pm brightly lit orange and red non blinking lit aircraft. First I saw 3 in a formation in night sky going south disappear into cloudy sky. Then I saw 2 more together and 3 singular ones going same direction exactly. They were visible for about 30 seconds each.
