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.

At 6:25 AM Eastern time on the morning of Saturday, December 10, 2022, I sighted a massive, obsidian-coloured, cigar shaped object on the way home from work on the night shift. I was wide awake, fully sober, fully alert, and still focused on the previous evening's shift at work. This object was massive--appeared to be about 2000 meters long and 150 meters wide, headed east at 1500 km/hour, around 35 km altitude. The object obscured much of the sky and appeared to be enveloped in a long, black, oily bubble. I had a sense of anxiety observing this phenomena.

There was a bright blueish/greenish hazed lighted object making absolutely no sound, moving west to east, It was rather low in the sky about 100 feet above the tree line. A small motored plane was much higher and eastward that I could here and see and I could distinguish its wing lights. This lighted object continued straight over the treeline, then turned northwest, very rapidly ascending out of sight.
