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.

I was sitting at my machine, and out of the side of my eye, I can see very bright lights. I get up, look outside my window and the colors are seriously bright. It was moving slowly across the sky. I thought maybe a plane, but further review told me nope, it wasn't a plane. The colors were bright and vivid. I ran to the back of my house, and it was there. I couldn't chase it, but confirm I saw it! We have amended the time above, to reflect a nighttime sighting. PD
