A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
First noticed a very bright light hovering in the sky. Then noticed some star like lights moving through the sky and then ascending up until out of sight this continued for over an hour. some moving together some one at a time but eventually all ended up ascending up into the clouds out of sight meanwhile the original bright light drifted off until it was also out of sight. seemed like every time they moved shortly after the wind would pick up they were never in any type of formation and never had any trail of lights following them. just looked like blinking stars

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.
