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.

My wife, son and daughter counted more than 10 and as many as 16 aircraft hovering, then moving nearly soundlessly over Rockland Co. (We drove from Nyack to Suffern, NY) and northern Bergen Co., NJ. They appeared to be drones (certainly not helicopters, as they were close enough to see their lights in detail, but made almost no sound). They were performing some kind of coordinated group activity, with the aircraft moving then hovering, then some moving together (flying at the same speed and direction) for a short while before diverging. It was really interesting, because between 8:45 and 9:15 you could look in almost any direction and see two of three of the craft moving through the sky.
