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.

At 1:19pm central time I was standing outside smoking a cigarette. I looked up past my roof, and saw a plane, leaving a long white trail of smoke. I scanned ahead of the plane to see where it may have been going, and saw a white, spherical object moving at a consistent rate, leaving no trail, with the plane following not too far behind it. I pulled out my phone, and began to record first the object, then I panned right to show the plane, then panned left again to show the object. I followed the object with my camera until I lost sight of it, but could still see the plane. It was a blue sky, with little to no clouds.

We looked in the sky and 6 objects were flying uniformly right behind each other at a fast pace.

Well I was riding in a van at the time of the capture of the lights in the sky and really I didn't mean to capture the lights but I ended up doing that. I was actually trying to take a picture of the morning sky . Nighttime photo indicates several blurry, faint sources of light. PD

We saw five orange red objects flying relatively fast by. 2 went ahead and 3 slowed down and made a triangle formation. The first 2 vanished and the last 3 faded out! They made no sound and despite there being no wind moved rapidly. The whole thing lasted about 5 mins from when we first saw them. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) It was p.m. and where we live there aren't street lights , so it gets very dark. ((END ADDENDUM)) Based on the witness's addendum above, we have corrected the time of the sighting, to reflect an evening sighting, not a morning sighting. PD

The first one I seen, seemed to be a plane at first and I noticed it was traveling downward very quickly with a red stream of light, I
