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.

They hovered, then flew north-west straight up into broken cloud cover over the mountains. Spring peepers were noisy during the event and stopped making any sound for two minutes after the third light disappeared. We have amended the time above, in order that the report reflects a nighttime sighting. PD
