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.

Looked like stars in a row moving from west to east. Did not come from the western horizon. Appeared at the same place and moved east in a long row spaced evenly apart.

Looking into the sky, I saw a very long set of lights. At first I thought it was a long tail of a meteor, but as I was watching the long row of lights were moving very slowly and not changing shape..it was like seeing. Long cylinder with window lights moving in an east by north east direction, moving slowly and without sound. I stared at it trying to understand what I was seeing it was incredibly long. SpaceLink satellites. PD
