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.

At some point during our drive to Hazleton from the Lehighton area, we noticed a flying object in the sky. It was a tiny bit lopsided, oval, kind of looked like the back of a car but oval, with a light on each end. I kept saying that maybe it was a blimpie or something. It was clearly flying but not fast like a plane or a drone. It was smooth and floaty and definitely moving. I thought maybe it was a google drone taking pictures but it was nighttime and already dark so that made no sense. We kept seeing it as we drove to our church. It was much lower than a plane, pretty low actually. Once we got to our destination, we noticed that a tiny red light had appeared in the sky a bit lower than the flying object, but definitely “attached” to it, connected somehow to the object, maybe it came from it. We went inside and did not see again when we came back out at around 10 PM. We did not take photos.

I was sitting outside at app. 11:30 PM DST, hoping to observe some meteors from the Perseid meteor shower. At about 11:40 PM, I happened to get a glimpse of an object moving south to north, against the direction I was expecting to see meteors. At first I thought it might be a satellite, but quickly realized it was moving way too fast to be one. I stood up to get a better view of this fast moving object, then quickly noticed a second object trailing the first object, same relative speed, same relative direction. As I watched, the trailing object overtook the first object, shooting slightly ahead of it, then slowing slightly in order to be flying adjacent to the first object. The spacing of the two objects was about the width of a fist held at arms length. When the two objects were adjacent to each other, they then veered slightly into a northeast direction, flying in this `formation' until flying out of sight. The total duration of this event was about 10 seconds. These two objects were the same relative size, slightly larger than a common satellite viewed from Earth, moving way too fast to be satellites. I listened to hear any jet sounds, if any existed, but no sound was heard.

This strange object, had no sound, didn't float up or down,came out of the dark clouds on the right, was moving slowly left, then stopped. I went to get my cell phone, came back outside , snapped 1 picture ,then it started moving more left , all in a horizontal motion. Then went straight up, quickly. Ant out of site in the upper white clouds, and gone... object was about 2 football fields large, an straight lines of flight. Wsa about 1 1/2,air miles away....
