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.

Watched a UFO in the night sky and took video. It was one object that went back and forth and up and down. It was white with a haze around it.

Two lights (from ground 6-7 inches apart), making me assume object was large and low. Could only see the lights not the object. Light at rear was brighter than light in front. Both moving in synch as on one object. Moved slowly and silently across sky from West to east overhead over several minutes. In distance was plane with three lights, one red, appearing very tiny (centremeter in size from ground view) travelled north, but could definitely tell and hear that, that was a plane. I have no idea what first object was.

My daughter and I observed 20 lights moving across the night sky over a lake in Dracut, MA. They were traveling south to north toward Orion's belt. They moved in a cluster formation in a long length across the sky. Out of the 20, there were three far behind them traveling in the same pattern. Two were together with the third coming up from behind. They were bright white lights with no colors, no blinking, and no sound. My daughter observed them group together in a cluster and move east at that point in the sky.
