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.

On back dock noticed multiple white lights appearing one at a time from North to South at approximately 10 second intervals with no sound. Each white light would brighten whiter then fade and completely disappear. My cousin and I watched this progression for at least 30 minuts.

Between 21:30-21:45 tonight I witnessed one large orange light moving in a straight horizontal line. It was in the Northeast sky high up next to Ursa Major at that time in the evening sky. It slowly moved in a southwesterly direction. At first I assumed it was an airplane or helicopter of some kind, but as it continued towards my direction I could hear absolutely no sound coming from it. The light was changing from an orange to reddish orange color and the light had star like shaped beams, similar to what commercial airplane lights look like when making their decent, or a headlight. It was incredibly bright, and larger than any other stars in the sky. I watched it for close to 5 minutes before I asked a family member to come outside and see it. We stood together watching it for another 2-3 minutes when it stopped moving and stayed stationary, bobbing around a little before fading into nothing. I could see no other signs of aircraft other than the one light. There were no other lights or air craft in the area at the time. I stayed outside looking for it for another 5-10 minutes and it did not return.

It was approx. 12:30am when I got up to closed my dining room window, which faces the Estrella mountains, I looked out and I saw 3 bright orange lights, they were not moving, they were in a shape of a triangle (one single one on top and 2 underneath, forming a triangle) I believe I even saw what I thought was a plane fly behind these orange lights. I went to wake up my boyfriend and when he got up to see what I was talking about, the orange lights faded away one by one. These lights were orange, very bright and very clear.
