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.

Early P.M., Craft Came From Side Street Into The Back Area Of My Apt. Complex. Brass/Metallic In Color. Hovered Above Me For Under One Minute. Looked Like Two Brass Circus Ballons. Object, Spun And Changed Shape From A Circle To A Cylinder To A Tryangle. Alerted Neighbor And Turned Back On The Object. Pointed With Neighbor Only To Have Object Speed Away. My Neighbor Only Witnesssed Bright Lights In The Distance. Object, Moved From Hovering To Stealth Within Seconds. Object, Departed Headed Away From A Major Airport Near Where I Live. Called T.V. And AP Reps.. They Said, No Go Unless I Got A Picture Or Pictures Of The Object. Object, Silent For The Minute It Hovered Above Me. Sped Away At A Incredible Rate Of Speed. I Know What I Saw. Thanks.

As my husband and I were driving home from dropping off my car for repairs, we were down the street from our home, when I looked up and saw wiring (sic. Writing) in the sky. I was trying to take pictures while we drove but it was to shaky and you many trees. We arrived home and I saw another letter or number being created but the craft creating it was not visible. I have a picture and video of this happening. It liked (sic. Looked) like maybe "boom town 7/3." Very weird.
