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.

We were walking our dog when we saw a fireball come down towards the southeast. It was about half the size of the moon and had a greenish tint to it, but the middle of the fireball was white. It was in the sky for less than a second before disappearing below the tree line. Our dog seemed too scared to continue our walk, but we might’ve just been projecting our own nervousness. We headed back inside after about five minutes after we’d seen the fireball and didn’t spot anything else.

All three of these objects were heading southwest. When out of no where three more appear from the west and were heading fast towards the others and they seemed to have meet up because they went in to groups of two. Then two just disappeared out of thin air just gone I thought it was crazy but until this happened two more showed up behind the groups. They traveled in a single line they came out of no where and were flashing red and white. One of the two trailing behind disappeared right in front of our eyes while the other one kept going flashing a bright red and white. These "aircrafts" were going fast, due to the tree line is several hundreds of feet and they cleared that in a matter of seconds. And to add on I live close by to a testing ground for the armed forces. UFO I think so.
