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 am a teenage boy residing in Souderton, Pennsylvania, and for years I have been taking guitar lessons at a place not far from my house every Tuesday at 7:00 p.m. This night, I was running just a little late, leaving my house at 7:00. I turned out of my cul-de-sac and onto the same route I take every night. As I was approaching a stop sign ~150 yards from my cul-de-sac, a bright, constant blue-tinted light caught my attention. The clouds were thin, but brights stars were visible through them and had a "haze" around them, as bright stars and the moon do when their light passes through thin clouds. The blue light had that same "haze," so I knew that it must be behind the clouds. Almost instantaneously after looking at it, it seemed to "fall" extremely, extremely quickly with no determinable acceleration in the exact direction I was driving. There is a tree line a few hundred feet past the stop sign (it is a 3-way stop sign, so I can either go right of left), and it seemed to almost disappear into the sky just before the tree line rather than disappear behind the trees. I stopped at the stop sign and my eyes began tearing up because I could not believe what I had just seen. The first thing I thought to do was call my dad who was at our house just hundreds of yards away because I felt that I had to explain to someone what I just saw. I mention the phone call because this report is being made on February 24, 2020, months after the sighting, and after reading a report from a woman in Vineland, New Jersey (57 miles from Souderton) too similar to what I saw that has the same date (12/03/19) and time stamp (7:00 p.m.) of when I saw whatever I saw, I looked back at every Tuesday going back to September 2019, and determined that the call I made to my dad at 7:03 p.m. on 12/03/19 was the date that I saw it. I feel that even though it is months later, I had to make a report to create a second report of what I believe is this sighting because what I saw is unlike anything I've ever seen, and my reaction of tearing up and almost fear was an uncontrolled emotion I never felt before that I guess must have stemmed from me seeing an unexplainable "phenomenon."
