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.

Observed red/orange object cylindrical in shape, moving in a slow arc from the south to the west. Object moving to slow to be a plane and made no noise. Approx distance from ground to object 2000 feet. Object seemed to flicker slightly but maintained a full bright color. Object finally disappeared to the west into low clouds.

This sighting happened in the Gallatin Valley, east of Belgrade, Montana. On the early morning the 25th, of November, 2019. my wife who is an early riser, was out on the porch smoking a cigarette. The sky was very clear and cold out about 25 degrees. She was looking the stars of the night. When she observed a couple of lights moving across the sky in a spaced out pattern. There became more, which seemed to be popping out of the black space. She felt if she left to wake me up from sleep would be fruitless that they would be gone. Well, they kept coming, and then awoke me from my sleep to see these lights. Well I did see the lights after about 12 of them had already moved on and they just kept coming out of dark space. Just fainter then some of the bright stars, but they kept coming out of the dark up rather high in the sky. No blinking, but much like satellites, they moved off with no sound. A propeller plane was coming by now behind us low and I was hoping they somehow would see this two. This continued for maybe 15- 20 minutes and we counted 40 lights total moving in the same direction toward the Bridger Mtns. and NE.. Twice 2 of these lights popped out at the same time. The best description I can give is like that TV denture cleaning commercial where they pull a string of pearls out of a baked fruit pie, one after another in a very precised spaced out pattern. But the lights appeared out of nothing in the black space. This is not the first time I have seen strange lights, in this area. Also camping in the Beartooth wilderness there are quite a few strange light movements going on.

Last night (Jan 10, 2019) at about 10:40pm MT, my sister and I were in our driveway and noticed two sets of lights moving together from west to east over Belgrade, MT. My sister commented that two planes shouldn’t be flying that close together. We watched the lights and realized they were moving exactly in tandem, one after the other, about the length of a football field apart. The light in front was a blinking white light, and the lights in the back were blinking in a fast pattern red and white. We assumed this was one plane following the other, but then realized that the area between the two sets of lights was totally blacked out, and as it passed, we could see stars blacked out behind it. It was very dark, and we couldn’t clearly see an outline of an aircraft, but it appears it was sort of shaped like a long, slim blimp. There was no noise, and the craft was moving slower than flights we normally see coming into the airport area of Belgrade for landing. It was also fairly low to the ground, and it continued directly east over Bozeman and continued eastward until we could no longer see the lights. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and she seemed quite eloquent and sober-minded to us. We suspect she is a very good witness. PD

I was just outside the house at the dog park, my dog chases a laser light, we do it almost every night, and tonight I seen a bright light in my peripherals and I looked up to see what it was. It was a big ball of light as bright as the moon, not even half a second later a red fire tail appeared till it turned yellow and it zoomed off and disappeard. So fast. But I seen it. It just wasn't like a meteor, it was so close and then zoomed off so far and so fast. And it was too bright and too close to be a shooting star. It was just, so odd.
