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.

Went back inside to tell my parents to look at it, came back out and it was gone, came back out and it was back. Stayed again for another 3-4 min. And was gone again. Then came back with a horizontal light beam like a spot light that was a long beam of light.
