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.

I was outside smoking a cigarette, & looked up, I've seen strange lights before at this time, & saw 3 large lights, traveling southeast, I ran inside & got my 12 year old son, to make sure I had a witness. He got scared, but saw them too. I pointed out a satellite, to show him the difference of what we saw. He went inside, after I came in, I asked him what he thought, & he said it was trippy.

My friend & I were checking out the sunset, when we saw a fireball hovering in the sky, it lasted for a couple minutes,then reappeared and slowly went to the East, for another couple minutes, not going that far, then quickly got brighter, and seemed to zoom towards us, then flashed brighter & just disappeared.
