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.

My son first noticed the lights. He thought they were stars in a row. I noticed they were moving slowly. 5 orange balls, all in a line, moving slowly from north to south. Then a 6th ball came up and got in line. They went higher until they just flickered out. We thought they may have been lanterns drifting up but these were too high, too uniform. All the same distance apart, moving in the same direction at the same speed.
