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.

Saw flashing light in sky. Did not move and then shot upward. 2 dark planes with red flashing light flew on either side of this thing and then flew away. The flashing light then started traveling into the distance laterally not further into space. THEN looking back in the original direction my boyfriend and i see a line of Green lights hovering just above our tree line in our backyard. We are awestruck and just stare at it until it starts to move in the same direction the flashing light went until it disappeared from sight.

12 starlike lights traveling from the southwest going towards the north. Separated in equal distance and traveled faster than an airplane would. They would travel so far and then disappear in the same spot. Then there was one last light that traveled behind and did the same thing.
