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.

Was waiting for fire works that night, but they were’nt scheduled till next month in Woodstock. Looked like a large bus, no wings, very bright lights. Little lower than a plane would be in the sky. Sighting stayed in the same spot, no sounds, for 1 hr. Then moved over to the right and dropped a little lower for another 1/2 hour before I went to sleep.

While camping on top of overlook mountain, (night was mostly clear with some scarce, thin clouds) my girlfriend and I both witnessed a precession of around 30-50 lights, about the size and brightness of a star, moving single file in a straight line across the sky. An absolute PIN straight line. The lights were moving independently of one another (didn’t seem to be fixed to something) and were in two groupings (lines) of about 20-25 each. No noise accompanied them, they all moved together faster than an aircraft but not quite as fast as a meteor. Seemed to all be going the exact same speed. Our eyes followed them until they disappeared behind scarce cloud cover at the opposite horizon. Not sure on direction.

It was a light moving at a steady clip. There were no green or red lights or a strobe like a plane would have.
