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.

The lights following each other we're not right next to each other but fairly close when watching them from a distance. Right after we could see the last ones a huge meteorite Fireball dropped from the sky to South but dropping fast.

3 adults watched multiple star-intensity lights move south to north in western sky a couple of degrees below Venus. No sound, moved in a straight line formation. Very high, possibly satellites?

It was still dark and the sky was clear. No precipitation. 12-15 bright gold/ flaming looking dots in a line formation, seemingly equal distance apart. They began to move in formation and then separated into small clusters. They began to move in different directions and at different speeds. I was in traffic and could not take a pic or video.

I live on a horse farm. As I was driving up the road to my home, I looked up and thought I was seeing a shooting star. As I continued to watch, I realized it was moving a little slower than a regular shooting star. It had a purple glow to it, which it was still light outside. Suddenly, it disappeared, and I was not able to see it anymore. I looked for it thinking it was probably a plane or something but never saw it again. The best way to describe it was a slow moving shooting star, I suppose.
