Sightings from the Project Blue Book era (through 1969) live in Record Group 341 at the National Archives. 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.

Two red blinking lights that moved down. The lights were stationary and definitely not a plane or helicopter.

I witnessed 3 floating objects displaying flash a red the orange hue. I fists believed to be aircraft of military maybe due to the horizontal movement and flash of lights , then the first light began to strink and disappea , the other two followed. This led me to think well maybe these are oddly 3 falling stars in rare motion, so I began to make wishes upon then appeared two more floating horizontal and they strunk then disappeared, trees and a light pole restricted my view of were this was coming from in the sky , the boom the brightest and last one appeared and followed the others. This left me baffled, I am not one to look up ufo info nor have I ever encountered such, I searched the internet and was led to extraterrestrial information which led me here. I don't know if what I witnessed was a natural cause but I feel the need to report this just in case someone else caught it too.

100+ round lights traveling Northeast one after the other. Not aircraft, no noise was made. This happened for about an hour and is still occurring. Too fast to be aircraft, too slow to be meteors and definitely followed the same path of travel.
