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.

as I was driving along I was on the phone with a friend and jokingly said oh there's a car flying in the sky thinking that it was the front lights of a incoming plane. I then realized that this vehicle had no wings and two lights on the front and was sitting completely still. It was a distinct two lights aiming downwards.

Heard a loud windy noise above my workplace went outside and it felt like if a large fan was blowing it lasted for 15min. There was no planes or helicopters around. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

This morning, Friday, July 28, 2017, around 11 am, I was sitting at my computer in my back bedroom. I could hear this strange noise far off and I was wondering what it was. At first, I thought maybe it was an airplane, but the sound was just so odd, I remain sitting as the sound became louder, I wanted to get up and go look out my sunroom window (like I usually do}, but for some reason, I just couldn't move! As the noise got louder, I could tell that it was coming closer to my location and it was moving fast. Finally I jumped up and ran into my living room and looked out my sunroom window, by the time I reached my window I could tell that it was passing over my apartments and moving fast. Once I pulled back my blinds I notice that the sky was hazy and there were 2 Gwinnett County Police Officers facing in my direction and looking in the sky. First, I was surprised because I had no idea that the Police was outside, and secondly I immediately notice them looking up in th! e sky with a shocked look on their faces. They seems shocked and confused and one of them had his mouth open like WTH is that!! I noticed that the noise had all of a sudden stopped and I could no longer hear it. I tried to scan the limited amount of sky in my view and that's when I noticed how "Hazy" the sky was. I watched the Police for a few minutes to see what they was going to do. They both stayed focus on the sky and finally turn to one another and started talking, after a few more minutes of talking, one got into his car and left and went to another locations by the security gates. The second Police officer stayed behind for a few more minutes, and then they both followed each other out the complex. I have no idea what they were looking at, but I'm certain that whatever that weird loud noise was in the sky, they saw it! No doubt in my mind because I can't forget the shocked look on their faces!! After they left, I called my cousin, who had gone to Publix grocery store to see if he heard that strange LOUD noise because I cou!d tell that it was coming from that direction (141& Holcomb bridge) toward me (Holcomb bridge Rd toward Peachtree Corners). He immediately said that they could hear it, but no one knew what it was!! There is a lot of strange objects in the sky in the Peachtree Corners area, on any day at any time you can witness them. I noticed that if you have sunglasses on, you will be able to see them clearly, I have taken my sunglasses off and I could barely see them, but once I put them back on, I can plainly see them. They do disappear, which makes it hard to capture them on video or take pics. I don't worry too much because I know I will see them again because they are ALWAYS flying around. I was able to capture one on video on July 10, however this particular object has been around for years so I wasn't too concern about getting the video but I decided to take it anyway before it disappeared because it will disappear on you and reappear somewhere else.

I just drove onto Ga 141 @ Peachtree Blvd & just above my car, out the front window, I saw a orange fire ball flying on a path that curved to the left for a few seconds. Just as it apeared, it just disappeared into nothing. When it disappeared, it looked like a very minimal distortion of light happened but it happened so fast it was hard to discern. It has a bit a regtanular shape to it & it was not very high. I want to say it was under 2000 feet. It was flying in a North East path.

Initially looked like a star, moving N to S, became very bright, then faded, continuous straight line path.
