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 approximately 22:00 on 7/04/21, from a location 10 miles south of Peyton CO, I observed, in the southwestern (essentially cloudless) sky at about 60 degrees elevation, a bright apparently spherical object, glowing at about minus 3 (-3) magnitude. The object alternately hovered and moved quickly in various directions, but stayed within about a 10 degree circle for at least FOUR HOURS. The accompanying video shows smoke-like emissions surrounding the object. I am both a professional (having taught college astronomy) and also an amateur astronomer, and have spent many hundreds of hours looking at the night sky. This is not any sort of astronomical phenomenon.

Originally thought it was live fire practice but these lights were hovering and moving in ways the do not match what live fire would do and there was no sound. Husband and I both have video of the event. After about ten minutes the lights disappeared altogether. Drove by Peterson AFB the next morning to see if anything could have made the lights, but there are no towers high enough, large enough or bright enough to have made them.
