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 looking for meteors at 3am I observed a string of lights that looked like meteors at first but moved slower and in a string. One behind the other. Some appeared paired where others were single but all following in a line across the Northwestern sky. Seemed to come out of darkness (clear night) and returned behind darkness. The whole event lasted 15 - 20 seconds (estimate). I was too puzzled by what I saw I wasn’t timing it. Much too high to be planes. Perhaps satellites but never seen so many moving together in a string. No reasonable explanation yet. Have not seen any news reports yet either about this. First time I’ve EVER seen something like this and first time EVER reporting such a siting. Felt compelled to tell someone about it. Definitely not a dream.

I was sitting on the deck at approximately 9:30 p.m., when I saw a bright green light moving in what appeared to be a south to north trajectory. The light appeared to be a bluish-green ball with a trailing tail, like a falling star. At first glance it was like a firework, however, it was much larger, brighter, and moved much further than any firework I have ever witnessed. (( We have amended the time to 21:58 hrs., predicated on a very accurate measurement of time by one of the witnesses.
