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.

While looking out my bathroom window at Orion, a reddish/Amber light dropped straight into the atmosphere slightly to the right of the constellations view, to just above my view of the local tree line. From there it rapidly changed direction (south-east) and disappeared. Beside the color, and lack of sound, I found its trajectory odd, as it didn't move like any plane or chopper I'd ever seen. There was no arc to its travel, like a meteor would have. It dropped in perpendicular to the horizon.
