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.

Me and a friend woke up to go get breakfast and were walking down to the store. I look up to see a ball of light which at first glance looked like a star, but I noticed that it was moving, along with another dimmer ball of light adjacent to the brighter one. One was an even dimmer, barely noticeable if you weren't looking at it. It was either low flying or very large in size, it was too dark out to really tell. The triangular shape object disappeared shortly after we spotted it. It moved at a slow rate, almost like a drifting.

Rectangle shaped object was huge dark colored with some white lights. Oddly quiet and fast.
