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.

Started as 3 lights. 2 above each other and one to the right like a triangle. The lights then spaced apart and 2 more come in. Lights were hovering and very bright. Brighter than a star or planet. There was no sound. The lights moved apart almost in sequence before one by one leaving. I have it all on video.
