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.

Looking west, we saw 10 twinkling lights just appear and move randomly about, but in a generally SW direction, sometimes moving slow and stopping and even disappearing and then reappearing, sometimes moving very, very fast - as if a swarm of twinkling lights were playing together. After they disappeared, two very large cigar shaped "ships" appeared out of nowhere with their front end glowing white and bright but not emitting light. They appeared in a same general area as the group of twinkling lights and moved slowly in the same direction - moving together at a slow steady speed. They were visible for about 45 seconds and then just disappeared. ,We are used to looking out our big picture windows all the time so we know plane and helicopter patterns and movement. These lights were nothing of this world.
