The report, as filed
I looked up & thought I saw the 1st star of night but then noticed it was moving. It was moving very slowly & then as it was moving across the sky it was passing through trees from our view & then just disappeared. Likely Satellite

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.
