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.

Mother’s Day after church sitting by the pool eating barbecue a large object came over a large hedge in our back yard. It was low, approximately fifty feet. It was made like a soccer ball, roughly spherical but the octagonal pieces flexed and stretched. It was black. It was like nothing I had ever seen. I was alarmed and ran ten yards to my patrol vehicle for my rifle. I returned in about thirty seconds and the object had taken form and ascended approximately fifteen hundred feet. I then retrieved my phone from inside and photograph it. But by that time it had ascended too far and the pics were useless. The front was pickle fork shaped. The rear had red tail lights or engines. The nose pitched up and down about twenty degrees. It kept ascending and traveling southeast towards Huntsville AL.
