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.

After fireworks on Lake Anna we saw a strange triangle in the sky made of 3 red circles in a very semantically form. The color was flickering between red and white, then they started moving and more showed up to the right of the triangle. They all moved into a strange rectangler shape, the flickering went to more of a white color. At this point there were about 6 to 7 of them moving around in no particular shape then the just disappeared.

I was walking outside of my house, when I was looking up to see moon, when I saw a oval shaped thing about 10 times the size of a star.
