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.

It was a rather large blue/greenish light that glowed for several seconds as it moved and abruptly faded out, not to be seen again. Two of us witnessed the very bright light move downward and across the sky as we drove.
