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.

Observed orange lights rising from west to east and continue to gain altitude moving east. As an orange light would rise another would follow. This continued for approx. 1 hour. This could have been going on before we started seeing the lights. Tried to use binoculars (8x 20x40) could not distinguish shape.
