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.

American Falls, ID
Looking East towards American Falls, ID, from the Crystal Ice Cave area of Craters of the Moon, I saw what looked like the bright white hunting light of a small plane heading in my direction. I estimated it to be approximately 10-15 miles away. It then turned to my right, so I was seeing the light from the side I judged it to be flying about 60 miles per hour. Nothing but the one light was visible. It moved slowly South for 10-15 seconds. I could not hear it. It then made a series of 3 or 4 short darts forward, stopping for a second or 2 each time. It instantly moved about a quarter of a thumb width at arm's length each time it jumped. That was followed by two longer jumps, each more than a thumb width. Each of the jumps was almost instantaneous,, but I could always see the light. It did not blink out and reappear but rather just a very quick dart. About 5 seconds later it moved into the clouds and never reappeared.
