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 was shooting long exposures hoping to capture the northern lights. I saw, to my left (north west) what appears to be a small very bright line with round lights along the length moving from left to right (West/north west to the east/southeast it seemed like it was pretty high up, definitely not a meteor or aircraft. In the video, which is not great, you will see what looks like a “line” moving across the sky. The two still photos are long exposures, so the detail gets lost a bit. The size stayed pretty consistent although it did get noticeably bigger as it moved over my location and appeared to just fade out. I do a lot of night photography and have never seen anything like this. It was way too slow to be a meteor, or even an aircraft. NUFORC: Starlink

My daughter was outside with the cat and said she saw a UFO, so I went to look. To the north, seemingly at airplane altitude was a triangle with 2 or 3 green blinking lights on one side and 2 or 3 red blinking lights on the other with a white static light in the middle. It wasn't moving. I watched for a moment and then called my wife outside to look. We watched for a minute and were both confused by it. It didnt seem to be moving, just staying in one place with lights blinking. At that point I went to get binoculars. As I came back upstairs I heard what sounded like a furnace blowing and when I got out on the deck my wife said the craft just flew southward overhead really fast and was out of sight past the trees on the hill across the street and then a second later flew back overhead to the north and was gone. The sound I heard from inside was the sound it made while moving. I tried getting a picture or video but the lights were barely visible on my phone screen, even zoomed in. The sunlight was nearly gone and the sky was overcast so on the camera it was too dark and all blended together. I am a "believer" and seeking truth in everything. My wife is more conservative than me. I have a master's degree and work in healthcare. My wife has a bachelor's degree as an educator.

There appeared to be fireball type objects moving across the sky in groups from the east. First there appeared 4 in a diamond formation that came overhead and tailed off to the left and faded out. Then about 8 orange fireballs came overhead and again tailed off to the left and some appeared to fade out and others kept moving out of sight. Finally a couple more came overhead, appeared to slow down, and then proceeded to the west. The objects were silent and appeared to glide. Witness describes himself as having a very strong academic background, and he works in the medical field. PD

Multiple large muted firework type flashes in northeastern night sky during an ice storm event viewed from Beckley Hill Road area, but no sounds typical to fireworks. Multiple flashes of blue, red, yellow, orange. Lasting for over one minute, appeared to proceed east - south east at much lower detectable levels as it passed over Barre city. No craft was visible, but the light show was impressive.
