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.

My name is ((woman's name deleted)) and I am trying to get a message to Congress. In the year 2021, I was given a message to deliver to the rest of humankind by extraterrestrial life. It’s not long. It’s just one word: HELP. I need you to take me seriously. I need someone to take me seriously. I am begging you. Just listen to my story. Just listen to my story and if you think I’m still insane I will be the first person to check myself into a mental hospital. But I KNOW what I witnessed. I KNOW what I saw. And I need to share the experience of what happened to me with the rest of humankind.

A HUGE comet (?) in the western sky slid from north to south at a forty-five degree angle, seemingly slower than normal. The body was a vivid medium shade of green which faded into the golden orange tail ending in the usual white trail until it burned out. I am a truck driver with eighteen plus years watching the skys all over this country and beyond. I was stopped westbound at a red light approaching my final delivery destination and saw the sight straight out in front of me through my windshield in a well-lite business & residential area with countless motorist all about. Also, a little higher in the western sky and a little further away, I saw what appeared to be a small private airplane. Surely, I could not have been the only witness to this dramatic.

I am an adult male. I was driving on I-40 west near the Maumelle exit when I noticed two bright lights traveling towards the highway. At first I thought they must have been landing lights on an aircraft. The lights began to rapidly descend and suddenly a straight line of silver lights appeared across the middle of the two larger lights. The object gained speed as it crossed the highway, the two main lights appeared to split apart and the two objects disappeared over the trees. I drove about a quarter mile or so when the two lights reappeared from over the trees. The two large lights appeared to be reconnected with five somewhat smaller lights under the object with them. Three in front and two in back, forming a circle with the larger lights. A chain of silver lights formed the outline of a broad chevron around the circle of larger lights. As I began to see the details of the object l pulled off the highway and searched for my phone. As I was doing this it made two tight circles in front of me. Just as I got my phone out and pointed it at the object all but the biggest two lights dimmed and the object took off at a high speed towards the northeast. Unfortunately, before I could get the camera set. Traffic was light at that hour, but it was near a populated area so it's likely someone else may have noticed the objects as well.
