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.

Pretty much explained in the summary, I've never seen anything like that change direction so immediately. It went in a straight line from north to south, and without stopping went immediately northwest. It was a faint light against a clear dark night sky. I have goosebumps

Before getting ready for work I always walk my dog. That Sunday morning when walking back home a very bright light towards the northwest called my attention, it almost seemed to be moving in an even zigzag at first. Then I saw it come to a sudden stop. It stay motionless for close to a minute(it may have been longer as well). Even my dog seemed to be looking at it and I swear I heard him growl very low and his tail was like a broomstick. Like he too acknowleged the bright spakling light. That's when I started to feel uncomfortably nervous. I knew it could not be Venus or a shooting star in the night sky because of it's triangle shape and altitude. I never heard any sound and I estimate it was maybe a mile or so from my position. I honestly feel as if I was being observed. Suddenly I started to feel a sense of panic which is very uncommon for me honestly. At that point my dog seemed to be on guard mode and stood in front of me.The object looked like a big triangle with a fluctuating bright LED beam. It moved again as if it was landing or coming close to the surface and towards our direction. I was completely perplexed and wanted to run back home but I just couldn't react. I was glued to the object in awe. Then suddenly it moved up high in the sky really really fast, and just like that it disappeared like a shooting star. I'm extremely distraught by that event. Only my wife knows about it because of how I looked when I returned home from the walk. She tried to minimize it, but I know what I saw could not possibly be an airplane or any air balloon or something. That is really all I have, and I truly hope I'm mistaking it for something harmless. I have to say that I have had a sort of tension headache that although bearable it just doesn't go away since Monday, (maybe stress I'm assuming) I'm absolutely frightened. I want to forget what I saw. Really upset I did not have my cell phone with me. I'm being honest. I swear on that. Best Regards.

I went into my back yard to take my dogs out around 9:00 pm and as I stood on my patio I noticed a strange light in the sky at about 245 degrees west,(I checked my phone's compass because I texted 2 friends to see if they could also see it) and about 20 feet up if looking at the horizon line ( but it was far in the distance) at first I thought it was a plane because it was twinkling green and red but after a few minutes it did not move. I had seen it the night before but went inside to find binoculars and when returned it was gone so I had disregarded it as a plane that I mistook. however, tonight, 2 nights in a row I have seen this strange object in the same exact spot. This time, I had my phone on me so I took video footage of it and sent it to 2 of my friends. In the video the colors are clearly changing between green, red, blue and purple. One of my friends also saw it and sent me a video back, however she saw several of these objects. I was able to get my binoculars and it was very bright and the colors changed rapidly. I turned my back to let my dogs back inside and it was gone.

Hovering and making abrupt movements before descending. Green and red lights flashing. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) 3 times as bright as Venus when it's low in the sky. Pretty big in size too Looked like a low jet coming in except it wasn't moving. It took off vertically, claimed very high at a high rate of speed then just stopped for a period. Then dipped below the trees in the distance. I thought maybe a quadcopter type of device. But when it was still it was dead still. Very windy here with hurricane Mathew looming! Not sure a quadcopter could handle the winds like this craft did but I could be wrong. Also, the light pattern was unlike what I'm seeing on YouTube. It had a fast blinking plain green/red light. More like a normal aircraft. ((END ADDENDUM))

crazy orange light sitting in the sky for two hours now. whipping around little light balls and sucking them back in like moths flying around a bright like when they get near they get sucked in by the light. Still, there right now doesn't look like its going anywhere.
