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.

I saw a dim light low in the sky to my NE. The light appeared as an orb. Once I locked on the light it glowed brighter appearing larger. Then the light shrunk to a singularity and disappeared. After 5 minutes I went back outside to see if I could see it again, and it was still there. It did this 4 times, disappearing each time I got a good look.

Me and my sister were outside on this night and we had seen a large triangle ship, (another sighting that i will report), and after going back out i saw nothing so I set up a little pallet outside in the driveway to starwatch to see if i could see anything else. Over the span of about an hour and a half i was just seeing shooting stars and planes flying in the sky so I was about to go inside. My friend Caleb had come outside and was watching the stars with me and right before we were about to head inside a “bright chrome circle, probably 10x the size of the planes around us” lights up around like a haze around the orb and it shoots fire out the back or some kind of thruster and shoots at the speed of light into space leaving a blue trail behind it, I have seen tons of shooting stars this night keep in mind and this was nothing like i’ve ever seen in my life. I am 18 years old and my friend Caleb is 20. Caleb is huge on religion and doesn’t beleive in UFOs so this sighting totally changed his beliefs on UFOs. I have a video of our reaction to it but sadly i missed it on my phone, i had been recording for almost 2 hours and literally was about to turn my phone off then we saw it. I 100% think this was extraterrestrial and there wasn’t any way of a meteor doing what i saw. Caleb also saw a white version of what we saw almost 20 minutes after the 1st sighting, so there’s no coincidence… I can send the video in if anyone needs to see it. Me and my mom have also seen a “ufo” and my dad has seen them too. my sister saw a triangular shop with me as it flew over our house as well and this past month has just been sighting after sighting for me and all my friends think I am crazy lol. Ik what i saw though so hopefully this can be seen by someone that believes me. Also.. if it was a rocket then we would have heard it and at this time of night there is usually nothing over our skies so this was very strange and many other of the sightings were at around the same time throughout the month prior. • The video of the security camera was when me and my sister saw the triangular ship above our house, the video of me flipping out to my sister is the same sighting just from my phone. • The one of me and my friend talking was the circular thing launching into space. this was from far east Bartlesville looking Northwest also. I would like to speak with somebody that would listen more in detail on what i saw because i’ve never heard of a sighting like the one i saw, the words i described it to my friends as was from movies but an “interstellar launch” lol

I snapped some pictures and upon arriving home ,and reviewing the photos I realized there were a few of the objects but am unsure they are the same as the initial one I saw. The last photo appears to say the word cloud written in the sky.

I was outside taking pictures of the moon. I turned my head away from the moon, glancing another direction. As I did so, I saw a rather out of this world ship. It was unlike anything I had ever seen before. It seemed to hover for about 20-25 seconds. At one time it even moved from side to side. It did have lights, but lights that were not on earthly aircrafts...only UFO lights. As it hovered, it kind of went still for a second, and then I chose to look away...eventually looking back at where the UFO had been, but it had vanished. Simply vanished!

Saw 4 red orbs, that at first I thought were drones, but they move too quickly and too close together to be that. They shot straight up and disappeared eventually. Was in the north sky. They made no noise.

Aug 20th, 2019,, I was driving on Hwy 123 North between Bartlesville and Barndall, Ok., at approx. 8:50pm, with me was my 11 yr old granddaughter. I seen a strange Bright light flashing at a slow pace kinda, on the East side up ahead going at a fast rate. I told my granddaughter to look it looks like the same kind of bright light we saw a week before, on Aug. 13th 2019. And it just came across where we seen it. All of a sudden it turned going North in a sharp way I can only describe as in an L manner. As I topped the hill the Bright light was on the West side of Hwy now going South. The way it was flashing and as Bright as it was, I decided to pull over to observe it better at a stand still. It was almost straight across from me in the Air by the time i stopped. It had seemed to have had pause for a few seconds, and at that moment, it was moving in a bouncing form it would go down just a little bit, back up then real fast bounce back, then right then left. I instantly shouted did you see that to my granddaughter. She did in fact seen it move as I did. Right then I knew I was looking at something. A UFO, we continued to watch it as it continued to travel southward. Within a few minutes it was I would say over Barnsdall, and it just stopped moving. The Bright light stayed in one spot for 5 to 7 minutes, then started to move again going west, turning back going North Northeast until it was almost right back to where we were sitting of Hwy. This is when I decided to grab my cell phone and start recording, and as I was recording I could not really see anything that I was looking at, I thought that my phone would not pick bright light up. So I Called my youngest daughter till she answered which is where I just left not 15 minutes ago from taking her back home to Barnsdall. I screamed get outside right now, locate the Big Dipper now look to ur left just a little and Boom she had asked what is it.. Then she and her wife was lik! e Omg is that , I can hear it mom, it has a whirling deep weird sound, They could see it turning like in a spinning way. We all watched it until we could not see it anymore as it went into the sky where it was lighting and storming.. I got home and went to see if my phone picked any of the recording I did, and oh man did it. You can see the bright light a few times and see how it was moving around a little, then right at the end of the video you see the triangle shape lights 3 of them. We were on shoulder of Hwy. and it was dark with trees on both sides of the road.
