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.

Walked out on my 2nd story deck that faces WEST to let the dogs out. My deck has a roof so I leaned on the rail to look up at the sky. While looking at the positions of the stars my gaze was drawn like a magnet to a perfect V formation that was traveling across the sky from South to North. After staring at stagnant field of stars the speed of this formation of lights was hyper speed. Hard to study this craft when it went from horizon to horizon in 4 seconds. Seemed like 4 separate lights that moved like a solid shape…very hard to tell at that speed.
