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.

Long string os lights in trail. Some stacked line abreast and some had lateral separation consisting of a typical parallel approach a an International airport with multiple parallel runways. Each individual craft had at a distance had a single orange slow blinking light. Three of them had bluish and pinkish color multiple lights. Maximum line abreast elements were os two not more than three in a fingertip formation. No noise and no rapid changes in direction.

I was sitting alone outside watching tv on my Samsung Galaxy Tab A. By some random chance I saw what looked like a tiny black dot moving in and out of some clouds. It moved relatively slowly from what my compass shows as 157.2 degrees to 347.5 degrees through the sky. There was no sound from the craft. I quickly switched on my video function on the tablet. In the background I think you can hear an airplane in the distance. This is very common where I live - there are always planes flying over our housing plan. I thought it was odd for a craft to be flying so high when there are airplanes close by on a regular basis. After watching the video I took and zooming in on the round craft, I dismissed it in my mind as probably a drone. However, due to the craft being so high and going through clouds, it might be of some interest and be considered unidentified. The "black dot" did not seem to change shape and was flying at a steady rate of speed. ! I lost sight of the craft when it flew over my house.

On 04/03/2018, at approximately 06:00, I observed a fast-moving object at apparently very high altitude, moving from North to South. It crossed between the two stars in Ursa Major that point towards Polaris and Polaris itself, somewhat closer to Polaris. Object appeared to be at significantly greater altitude than commercial airliners, though possibly attainable by military aircraft. It reminded me somewhat of early satellites which did not follow the earth's rotation in terms of brightness, but speed was greater. The object was too distant to determine size or shape. The sky was cloudless and dark. What caught my attention was that it appeared to consistently move at what I surmised to be several times the speed of sound, yet several times instantly “jump ahead” some distance. Distance “jumped” was hard to estimate due to altitude, but I would say in the tens of miles each time. Twice, the object “jumped” laterally as well, though I would estimate a shorter distance. I followed the object until it passed the treeline at my house.
