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.

Shortly after 21:00 hours, I noticed a reddish light in the sky north of my house. Thinking it missionary. Mars, I went in to get binoculars. When I looked through the binoculars I saw a red flashing light, a white pulsating light and possibly a blue and/or green light I was not able to discern a shape. I watched for nearly 15 minutes and the object remained stationary. I went into the house for a couple of minutes and the object had disappeared when I went back out.
