This light traveled the length of the Big Dipper. The light stopped stayed there for about one minute, and then moved half of the width of a full moon, then stopped again, and started moving a second time, and stopped once more (3 times).

It also stopped three times moving in the SW direction, each time the length of the Big Dipper handle. The third time it stopped it stayed there, at the last stop I watched for about 4 minutes and had to leave.

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.
