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 daughter and I were looking at URSA major and URSA minor. The moon was behind some trees to the left. We saw an airplane pass. Then I saw a tiny dot moving through the sky, then my daughter saw it. I have the starwalk app and it did not detect the moving object as a satellite. The object moves behind a house where we can no longer see it. Then we see a second one, similar in every way.
