A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
June 28, 2017, at about 10:45, I went outside to fix our door screen. I looked up into the night sky. In the direction where the Sun had set one hour before. But I saw something in the same place the sun had set. It was very bright. So, I went in to get my c-phone to take a picture of it. I didn’t think that when the sun set, the moon can come up in the same place. I took some pictures and then went into the house to show my husband. When I returned outside I look at the sky again. And I saw what looked like a crescent moon. Then it started to look like a comet. I took some more pictures. And when I was done. The sky was dark. That was about 11:45. We have amended the date and time of the sighting. PD

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.
