The first 20 seconds on this video which is not mine, is what I saw: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKPF0pgxaRM Video is very good, but contains coarse language.

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.
