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.

Flat, ribbon-like shape. Approximately 12'X8'. Black figure-8 shape in the western sky, heading north-west, twisting, turning, and flipping, moving upwards until it was too high to see with naked eye. Black ribbon estimated to be 3' in width. Held its flat (and horizontal) figure-8 shape the entire time, flipping on its back and then turning over again multiple times. The front loop of the figure-8 was a bit larger than the rear loop, consistently. ...Never seen anything like this before. Very strange. No sound. Clear skies.

Me and both my parents saw 3 yellow glowing orbs that were traveling to the north during the lunar eclipse. All 3 appeared when the lunar eclipse near completely full. They were traveling west slowly and took a sharp right to the north west and disappeared within 45 seconds. They were within a half of a mile from our porch in the beginning, and disappeared within 45 seconds at least 10-15 miles away from our porch with a steady incline.

Me and my girlfriend went outside to smoke a cigarette a little after 10:30. Nice clear night with very little clouds in the area. We were looking at the stars and planes and watching for unusual stuff bc last week we had seen something that peaked our interest. (Last event was witnessed by me, my gf, my mom and dad, 4 witnesses in total). However, last night while watching a plane we noticed a bright flash. At first I thought it to be a firefly in the corner of my eye. However after staring at the spot where we had seen it for about 3 minutes, it went off again, in the same location. It was above the trees and was just a quick on and off flash. Almost as if someone up in the sky had a flashlight and was signaling. This happened about every 2-3 minutes. And each time I thought it was done and about to turn to go in, it flashed. After a while I was feeling like whatever it was, was doing it on purpose to toy with me. After about the 8th time it went off I went in to get my dad, but when he came out it didn't go off, which just made us look like we were making it up. But he believed us bc of what we all saw last week. Anyway, at first I wasn't going to report this bc I just reported something last week and I don't want to appear like I'm crazy or doing this for attention. Just seems like there’s something going on recently in the Waukesha/Brookfield area. Thanks for your time
