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 am an Airline Pilot flying a Boeing 767 from Memphis, TN to Charlotte, NC. All month the same other Pilot and I have been witnessing strange lights in the sky. On this particular early morning, we had two more strange occurrences. The first happened at cruising altitude. I can’t recall if we were at 34000 or 36000 feet. We were scanning the skies because we have seen numerous strange light occurrences all week. They have always been small lights appearing and disappearing that seem to be in outer space. This one was different. Within 5-10 seconds, right as we were looking outside the left window of the aircraft cockpit, we both saw 3 separate very bright flashes of light in the same vicinity of each other that were bluish green in color. They flashed in sequential order then never reappeared. About 20 minutes later, on our descent into Charlotte, NC I saw a small white light from deep outer space that quickly flew towards my side of the cockpit on the right side until it appeared as a large white orb then vanished. It started as a small light like a shooting star, then within 3-5 seconds it was a large orb that felt like was within 5-10 miles from us. The orb was about the size of a basketball before it vanished. I was truly in awe of what I had just witnessed. The other Pilot did not see this orb as it happened so fast. What was really disturbing to me, is that I felt the orb could read my thoughts. Just prior to this happening, I was still trying to digest the previous 3 flashes of light on the left side of the airplane. I distinctly remember thinking to myself without speaking, asking whatever light phenomenon to show me sometimes definitive so I could rule out satellites, etc. Within a minute of me thinking this, the orb appeared. The other Pilot also told me he almost felt like these light phenomenon were reading our minds or telepathically communicating with us. I know this sounds absolutely insane, but it is what we experienced.

From my driveway, saw a blinking green light in the sky a little bit east of me. Thought perhaps it was a plane or helicopter, but lights were only green. It also appeared to be hovering, and I first assumed it was actually just moving and coming directly toward me. But then it immediately took off, heading north, quite smoothly and at a very great speed. It reminded me a bit of a slow-moving shooting star but, again, it was a blinking green light. After it shot north, it seemed to disappear into cloud cover.

November 13th, 2021 at around 3:00 PM I was leaving a car wash. While stopping at a stop light, heading south on Statesville road in Huntersville NC, I noticed a white object in the sky about the same altitude as a plane would fly. Because it was so high up, I’m not sure if it was stationary or just moving slowly. It was either spherical or egg shaped, but again, because it was so high I am not sure which. When I came to a full stop I tried to figure out what it was, and looked at it for about 5-10 seconds. I moved my head left and right to make sure it wasn’t just something on my windshield, and it stayed still while my eyes followed it. While I was looking at it, it disappeared before my eyes without any sign of where it went. There was not a cloud in the sky that it could have gone behind, and it didn’t accelerate slowly before disappearing. I looked at the truck next to me at the stoplight to see if the driver had seen it, but it didn’t seem like they did. To my left there was a Wells Fargo, and to my right there was a Burger King. The object was at least a mile in front of me and about the altitude planes fly at, but I couldn’t tell you its exact location. For lack of an address I can provide the coordinates of my car when parked at the stoplight. Latitude: 35,442609 Longitude: -80,865709.

I observed a bright white light approaching from the east. At first I thought it was Venus or a bright star (I am an amateur astronomer) but it was in the wrong position, much too low and it was moving. It appeared to be an aircraft but did not have any blinking lights and then the intensity of the brightness increased markedly almost like a flare. This increase lasted only a few seconds and it continued westward. I believe it flared once more but cannot remember for sure. As it continued west, it then made a very sharp 90 degree turn north and continued on until I could not see it anymore. The turn was very abrupt - certainly not like any aircraft that I have seen.

I was driving on Saturday night 10/12/19 at 9:30pm in Huntersville North Carolina. I spotted several Orange pulsating orbs moving in straight line across the sky. These where not Chinese lanterns, Flares, or Airplanes.. I could see directly into the orbs and they appeared to be generating some type of energy pulse. These objects where completely silent. They also appear out of nowhere and quickly disappeared once they passed by my direct view. The sighting lasted about 5 minutes one after another. I stopped and took several pictures and a video. I have posted this to YouTube under orange orbs in Huntersville. The news interviewed me and people are shocked by the footage.
