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.

My family witnessed about 20 or more orange lights in the sky.... not too high up. They looked like they were hovering bot not moving too much if at all. My wife and I agreed that the only explanation would be helicopters. I have a cell phone picture.
