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.

Round lights started on the horizon line on a formation and flew low towards me then formation broke up and each rose individually. Looked thru Binoculars and one witness said it looked like there might have been small windows with dim lights on. The lights continued to climb into the night sky until disappearing. The lights were one orange light on each appearing to be at the nose of the unidentified flying object that looked like they could've been round. No noise made from the crafts when they were at the closest point less than 1 mile away from us.
