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.

Blue Hill, ME
We saw a bright light with a blue pulsing strobe that approached from the south and appeared to hover over Blue Hill Bay. After approximately 30 minutes or less, it vanished. It was a very clear night with a sky full of stars. There was absolutely no sound coming from this object.
