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.

At approximately 21:55, I was traveling east on Veterans Highway in Hauppauge, NY, when I noticed a bright blue light in the sky. I have never seen such a vibrant bright color of blue. It was beautiful. The light seemed to follow me, so I pullover over on Veterans Highway 454 to take pictures and observe it (10 minutes). It stayed very bright and seemed to get smaller and larger; almost looked like it was in two pieces at one point. But I think that was cloud cover. It seemed to disappear quickly. I resumed on my drive home. I took several pictures and have them on my computer.
