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.

object more than 1,000' long x 20'wide (maybe more it was immense), straight row of lights in a pattern of dots and dashes down the spine (but not exactly a dot dash pattern just closest I can describe to the pattern), approached then hovered over us. Strange mechanical (?) noise above. Lights slowly went out from one end to the over, shape disappeared with the lights. Noise is still on going as I type. We have a large outdoor patio with a 12' tall stone wood fired oven decorated across the dome of the oven with Christmas lights in a white diamond pattern. It has attracted aerial drones, small personal planes and the like before, but we've never seen anything like this. Just trying to cook pizza for dinner. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Certain]

Then in the sky I seen a bright light blink on. I watched it confused for about 3 minutes and when I realized it wasn't moving I went to the window to get a better look. It was so bright that it had light streams coming off either side. That's when I yelled for my daughter to bring my phone so I could record it. She woke up both my sons in the process. We recorded it, not sure how long. A new smaller light came off the main light to the left. Then a short while later a small! light camr off the right and then dropped down fast and went under the main light to the left. Then my memory cut out on my phone. As I was trying to delete older videos off my phone the main light just blinked out. We waited to see something else but nothing happened.

Faint lights appeared in the sky in the formation of a large chevron. They moved in sync like birds in flight at just above tree-line level. The entire sighting lasted about 5 seconds before the lights disappeared. If this was a craft, it was completely non-material as it was a totally clear night.
