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.

My friends and I were walking in a park when we saw three flying disks in a v-formation flying low across the sky. They were going very fast. A dog in the park started barking at it. We didn't see them again.
