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 received a notification there was 16% chance of seeing aurora in our area at 10pm so I was skywatching. I saw a greenish light appear out of nowhere and it started to move left and right slowly then started to descend. I tried to hit video but I mistakenly hit the option to take multiple pictures in quick succession. It moved downward continuously until it disappeared into the horizon beneath the trees & my line of sight. It was not falling fast enough to be a meteor. It was slow moving but the entire sighting was less than a minute. Not sure if it was any way related but my phone lost connection - could not connect to any mobile tower or wifi it had an X thru my bars and said "NO SERVICE" the entire time the light was visible and for about 5min after.

Went outside and saw tiny lights traveling back and forth. I stood on my porch thinking what is that, no sound, it was much to small to be an airplane. All of a sudden one passed over me and exploded into a beautiful burst of different colors then suddenly disappeared. I'm still in shock by what I saw, however it was the prettiest sight. Once again, absolutely no sound or fireworks smell.

Two very bright round star like lights that moved about then the smaller attached itself to the bottom of the larger. A set of jet like wings appeared on each side that resembled light beams. Craft appeared to just be a very bright complex stationary star as above for 30 minutes, then suddenly the craft moved from the mid northern sky overhead sideways towards the north just as a high flying jet would although the two wings were perpendicular to the movement and a bright beam shined its norhternly path like a long headlamp beam. It moved quietly out of sight. At first this stationary object appeared just to be the most brilliant star in the sky, between north and south horizons, and as far away as all the other stars. This event lasted from 9:00 pm EDT to 9:50 EDT. The UFO returned without notice, and when I tried to take a photo, the object appeared now to be a horseshoe shape of about 9 attached lights that changed their brilliance so my photo wasn't clear. When it returned it took a place at the same altitude but a bit more in the southern sky. It moved slowly as the stars move across the night sky until it was directly in line with Jupiter making it impossible to distinguish the planet from the object possibly in front of it, but Jupiter had become the brightest object in the southerly sky by this time

Had three white lights and one red beneath them. Flashing. Continued to move towards New York for twenty minutes. At same pace. Only 69-75 feet above ground. Very quiet very slow and eerie. I videoed it for two minutes but my cell phone only shows black fuzz with a little sound for one second. Very strange. Very awesome. Not sure what it was. But it's a very clear starry night tonight.

The UFO was sighted while I was walking my dog at approximately 9:30 pm. The UFO moved very quickly at an incredibly low altitude. The UFO illuminated warm colors (Orange Yellow Red) that I could not isolate due to its speed. The high speed caused to lights to "streak" across the sky. The UFO flew in a exact same swooping motion 3 time very quickly. A very similar motion to a boomerang. The UFO was about the size of a bat or medium sized bird. The UFO made no noise as it flew. The UFO's altitude ranged from approximately 8 feet to approximately 20 feet as it made it's swooping motion. The UFO swooped downward behind my house and was not spotted again. To be honest when I first saw it I was more curious than spooked. After it dipped out of sight that quickly changed and I made my way inside not looking behind me for it. A few minutes later I peered outside the window with not luck.
