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 wife and I were in the pool of our apartment complex for a night swim, and we were looking up at the night sky. We saw what looked like a star, but it was moving rapidly and then it faded away. It did not have any flashing lights like a plane, and it did not have a tail like a shooting star. likely a satellite

This is late but I forgot to post this, woke up in the middle of the morning and after using the bathroom I saw out my bedroom window that there were 2 sphere shaped lights and I knew for a fact it wasn't airplanes, helicopters or even stars. Those lights have never been there and after about 30 minutes it was gone.

A clear day's afternoon I was sitting in the back yard and looked up at the sky. I saw a dot with a flashing light tracing an irregular trajectory that seemed to come out from behind a small cloud. The only cloud in the area at the time. It was a black dot high in the sky. The bright light flashed at 1 sec intervals. It moved in the 9 o'clock direction and turned 90 deg to the 6 o'clock not very far from the cloud. I reached for my cell to set the camera and when I looked up again, it had disappeared and also the small cloud. I wonder if anyone in the vicinity has reported this sighting.

I was stargazing one night from my backyard patio. Dim orange/red intermittent illumination round object traveling across the sky from West to East. No navigation lights as planes I did notice transiting that night so I ruled out the possibility of the sighting being an airplane. It was noticed first as what I thought was a shooting star in my peripheral vision but it never burned out but got dim and traveled in a zig zag pattern across the sky. I tried to track it with my eyes until it suddenly disappeared.
