The report, as filed

The object remained stationary for several minutes, then began moving very slowly along the Highway towards Myrtle Beach, SC. The object remained in the sky, disappeared behind clouds for a few moments then was visible again. Object was still clearly visible overlooking the Intracoastal waterway in Little River, SC. The object appeared to be moving out over the ocean still with a very bright light. The light faded to orange and disappeared within seconds. Sky was rather clear.

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.
