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.

Basalt, CO
Saw a straight line of lights at the top of the atmosphere. All the lights were going in a straight line and were perfectly spaced one after the other. Counted at least 75 but there were more because it was already going when we looked up and noticed them. Color seamed to be a light white or orange in color. No blinking lights were observed and were flying above where normal jet airliners would be flying. There was no noise from them,they were perfectly silent. Coming from west to east the best we could tell. All dissapeared at the same spot in the atmosphere. Basically dissapeared.
