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 arrived at home from the grocery store in Hollister, MO at 8:47PM and noticed how big the Moon appeared to be and how it was almost an orange color. I stopped to take a couple of pictures to send to my mother, who was staying about 10 minutes from me in Branson, MO at Stone Castle Inn. I continued to look at the Moon and opened my Satellite Tracker app to see what planet was close to it and saw that it was Jupiter. As I was about to walk indoors, I saw a VERY bright white, long and thin rectangle appear inbetween Jupiter and the Moon. It was moving at the pace of a pretty fast jet directly towards the Moon. It began to get even more bright white (I've never seen something this "shade" of white), it began to go faster, angling up towards the Moon and as soon as it was directly in front of it from where I was standing, it completely disappeared. It literally was there one moment and gone the next. I have never seen anything move quite like it before and the speed it reached, made no sense to me. There was no noise and for something THAT large, I do not understand why I did not hear anything. Anyways, whatever it was, was absolutely captivating and beautiful. After this event, I received a text message from my mother and she asked me if I had seen something weird by the Moon (as she went outside after I had initially sent her the two photos of the Moon). She described a very similar experience, with the only difference being that she thought she saw a smaller round shaped "something" further below this object that was moving in sync with it. I attached a photo that I sent my mother, with a circle where this object first appeared and the direction that it moved. I would love to be contacted if anyone else has reported this event.
