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.

While outside to have a cigarette, I looked up to the 2 o clock position of a compass being North and I saw that would to appear as either a satellite or the US space station making a pass over, but as I clearly held my ground steadily, I observed the object coming over me, I erracticly change direction, in a pattern similar to a small fish swimming in a pond. I stopped myself and steadied my breath and observed it again. And it continued to do the same in a very small grid, and then it went back to a slow straight pattern then once again, making suttle strange movements. I clearly made myself as absolutely steady as possible leaving against my truck. And observed it for a few more minutes continuing it's straight path overhead. It seemed to have some sort of reflective qualities on it. It was very quite out and I heard zero sound and it was very very high. Flying over the Woodley small airplane airport
