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 looking at the stars like I usually do at work then all of a sudden I noticed a row of Lights moving I thought maybe the first one was a the satellite or the space station but all of a sudden they kept appearing and they were in perfect formation straight line heading west the east and they would appear out of nowhere one after another perfect formation one after the other after about 20 minutes of this just appearing and going straight in a straight line it stopped and then one or two would come then it stopped and then I saw the last one I think and it stopped it was amazing
