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.

Looking up through trees of campsite, (Tuscarora Village N. side) Watkins Glen State Park, husband and wife observed orange red circle moving silently slowly in west direction up Glen Creek (East to West). The object was orange in center and had a red fire like ring on the peripheral circle, which had fire like licks or prongs emanating into the center orange portion, similar to looking straight up into the base of a rocket outlet, but flame going inwards to center and flames were slowly intermittent like a dying ember not a fast burn. The object moved slowly west (visible intermittently through the tree canopy) and did not appear to be relatively high, I.E. lower than commercial jet aircraft and about as high as local prop aircraft). The shape was definite perfect circle not rough like mold burn. Lost track through tree canopy. (No intoxicants involved with reporters and they are objectively trained and not subject to emotional speculation).
