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.

A line of 30-100 lights appeared in the sky traveling in line. The lights were a bit dimmer of a commercial airplane. They were the samE color as the stars. They were moving North/Northeast. We watched them in the sky for a minute then they all disappeared. The line was not quite perfect some were a but higher or lower but pretty close to perfect. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Certain]

The object I saw first looked like a very bright blinking star, but the longer I looked at it I realized that it was moving from right to left erratically, and then up and down. It would occasionally stand still before starting to move in random patterns again. Occasionally, it would look to be glowing faintly red or green. I watched it for about 20 minutes and it never moved from its general area in the sky.

2 very bright lights seen in the sky about 2 miles away and above the Village Commons. Started to follow and catch up to it (weird because a car's not faster then a helicopter or airplane). Pulled into Commons parking lot and got out to look at it. Distinct triangle shape with lights at each corner and made a complete 180 and started flying opposite way. Was flying very low and slowly, made absolutely no noise. The weather was also incredibly windy so it couldn't have been a small drone.
