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.

August 13, 2016, 6:57AM. My background: I am currently a private investigator and former law enforcement officer. I was traveling northbound on US 17 in Elizabeth City, NC. A wind farm is under construction and wind turbines are being constructed on some of the massive areas of farm land at that location. I was looking to my left and checking out how many turbines were under construction when I noticed an object above the height of the turbines and a little to my north west. The object was of a classic “saucer” shape with a domed top. It was silver in color and reflected the sun like chrome. It appeared to just hover and then slowly glide through the air. There was no visible exhaust and no sound noticed. No lighting on the vessel was observed. I thought to myself, “I need to stop and video this.” I looked to my right to see if the right lane was clear so I could pull to the side of the road. I looked back up and the vessel had vanished. There was no sign of it anywhere. I have seen other questionable lights and lighted objects at night but this was my first daytime sighting that I can say for certain was a UFO. I am also posting this, wondering if anyone else observed the same object that morning.

Traveling from Elizabeth City to Hertford, NC, we saw 7 bright orange flying objects just above the horizon. Not sure what they were but were flying to low and to close together to be planes.
