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.

Saw a white light moving across the sky on a southeast heading somewhat slowly, a minute or so later a jet came in the same location as the white light. The white light disappeared. Cool vape trail at night.
