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 was standing outside on my front porch about 8 pm when I noticed a strange white light shaped like an orb zigzag in the sky. I was very puzzled watching the object move around. I called out to my husband and daughter to come outside to see if they see the something. All three of us were very puzzled what is this object. We live not to far away from an airport and also a military base. So we are use to seeing planes all the time, so I knew that what I was looking at was not a plane or a drone since the object was very high in the sky. So for about a few minutes after this strange orb zigzaging around it came to a stop and you can see the light started changing colors from white to a orangey red and started to ascend straight up into the sky. After which it disappeared and we could no longer see it. We recorded the event as well. I was hoping that maybe you can help us or a possible explanation about this object we saw.

I was doing laundry at 4:49 in the morning on May 29th 2019 when I looked up in the sky I was smoking a cigarette waiting for the laundry to finish when I saw floating objects that were hovering all together they were orange and they were hovering next to each other and then they simultaneously split off like they were breaking off and kind of just floating like like synchronized together they were just looks like they were scanning the area or trying to observe something but they were closer together but then they just started distancing themselves floating further apart slowly but surely and it was very bright so I remembered grabbing my phone and trying to snap a video of it as soon as possible I have a video of it but it's towards the end while it's going in the building there were no airplanes or no identifying markers on it it was just a bright orange light and then they broke off into three floating orbs and they just went their separate ways.

It was between midnight and 1 am, this morning, Thursday, April 11, 2019. I was in the jacuzzi at a mineral springs spa in Desert Hot Springs, California. I noticed a very bright light bigger than the stars and it almost seemed to have 2 lights very close or maybe it was just blurred because it was very bright. My heart started to beat very fast when I thought I saw it had been coming closer. I wasn't imagining things.. it was coming closer. It didn't come close enough that I could see any clearer of what this was, hoping it was a drone. I was petrified and grabbed my robe and ran to my door. I waited about 20 minutes and went outside and it was back in the original area I first noticed it. I finally fell asleep and waited for the day to end so I could look in that spot and hopefully see the same light. It would be a star and I could relax. It was gone. It's no longer there. I've looked online, but I haven't seen any one else report it.

I saw a bright light in the north west sky which I thought was a shooting star, as I continued watching it it failed to dissipate as I expected. I could make out a shape that was similar to a missile ( approximately 7-10 full size commercial jet liners in length). Then I saw a blinking light accompanying, or possibly on the object. The main brilliant light then broke into what appeared to be 4-5 individual brilliant lights and continued flying horizontally until they disappeared over the eastern horizon. Re-entering space debris. PD
