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.

while in a boat off the coast of NJ under crystal blue skies I witnessed a white oval object sitting still in the sky and it didn't appear to have any wings. There were planes in the background that passed while observed this craft. After about 2 minutes I reached for my binoculars and by the time I got them up to my eyes it was gone.
