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.

We were on a walk and noticed a planet and a few stars, then a bright blue flash caught our eyes. We watch the light move slow and change directions several times like a bug. Then it started to move very fast to the northwest. We watched the object until it disappeared. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
