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.

A large oval object passed by, increased altitude and disappeared into the darkness, it's about 108+ft in length by eye estimation, there wasnt much light to get any images but you could clearly see the outline in the sky in person, there's no lights on it like Goodyear blimps but it could've been one although it's unidentified currently, there were also a couple helicopters in the vicinity for quite some time before and after we saw it [NUFORC annotation: Blimp - Possible]

My son and I were sitting outside in the backyard around 10:00pm. It was a clear night with no clouds and the stars aligned. We both were admiring the Big dipper seen in our backyard. We both noticed a light at first and thought it was a plane heading past the Big Dipper and going to the airport. As the unknown object moved to the right, it quickly disappeared into thin air.
