What would the paper say?
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.

Driving towards home, and the lights cuaght my eye. As I looked up, it seemed like I was under a shadow even though it was dark. It was huge. Triangular shaped, lights at each end. I was driving so I stopped, and the people driving in front of me stopped too. We snapped a couple pics and had to get out of the road. It lasted about fivd

I was on South Flagler Avenue by the Flagler beach police station in my vehicle, it was night time and it was approx. 18:40 hours. An extremely large black triangular object approached from the South West at approx 5-10mph and was approx 1.5 miles away from my location. I slowed the vehicle to idle to witness the object. The object appeared approx 2,500- 4,000 feet in the atmosphere at that time. At first sight, it appeared that the object was not on a horizontal plane. It appeared to be on more of a vertical plane. Upon first sight of this object i noticed 3 lights; they appeared similar to butterscotch in color. The object remained moving towards my location at 5-10mph. I noticed a vehicle in front of me heading north on Flagler avenue that had stopped to take pictures of the object. I brought my vehicle to a complete stop and got out of the vehicle and I continued taking photos with my Galaxy Note smart phone. The vehicle behind me heading south, pulled! over on to the right hand side of the road. The driver got out of the vehicle and appeared to be using a video camera (not a smart phone) and was capturing the object on video. The left side of the object passed directly above my head at what appeared to be 500-1000ft directly overhead. At that time, the object appeared to be approx. 500 feet in width and length and on a horizontal plane. Upon looking up I saw 3 lights that were visible, the lights were on each of the 3 points. The lights were recessed and cylindrical and did not have an aura. The light on the north east side, front forward moving, and the North West side, front forward moving were bright white. The light on the back side of the object or the Southside was blue. Directly underneath the object, in between the North West side white light and the South side blue light were approx. 15-20 spherical shape impressions on the underside of the object. The object was dark and the only reason I could tell it was tri! angular was because of the 3 lights, the 15-20 spherical shape! impress ions running in between the two lights. The object made no sound, no vibration and no other auditory sensory. The object appeared to keep moving at the same 5-10 mph and towards the north east. It did not change speed, vanish, dematerialize or change in any immediate direction; velocity remained the same with no immediate changes. Because I had stopped in the middle of the road and got out of my vehicle, due to oncoming traffic, I needed to get back into my vehicle as to not stop up traffic. I dropped my phone, picked up the pieces, got in my car and continued heading south on S. Flagler Avenue. I could see the object during my drive down S Flagler Avenue. I came to the 7th street stop sign and went east at which that point I lost sight of the object. I have spent many years at Whiteman Airforce base and have witnessed many B2 Stealth Bombers up close, directly overhead, on take off and on landing. They have a distinct sound and have a distinct design. This object was double or triple the size of a B2 Stealth and was definitely NOT a B2 and was NOT any aircraft I have ever seen. I have photos and if you have photos you can share please send to ((address deleted))@bellsouth.net. I will also share what I have.

These objects were lights appearing as if they were flares dropped from aircraft. A string of lights appeared and slowly faded, but not in sequential order of appearance. When first seen they appeared in a line leading toward the Atlantic shore. They seemed to come from an aircraft. A sound similar to a jet aircraft was briefly heard, but not throughout the event. Lights appeared in a line approaching the coast, but none seen deployed over land. I have I-phone video. Lat 29°30'22.94" N Long 81° 7'8.17" W approximate location.

I was driving south in flagler bch. It was getting dark. I saw it out of the top of my windhield and pulled over, got out, and watched in amazement of the erratic pattern it was making. It vibrated and moved in a counter clockwise direction, stood still, then dropped due south, then moved due north into its original position. darted west shortly and then took off south and dis appeared. the closest shape discription you had was the chevron. I think I explained the shape well in my discription. 35 yrs of watching the sky I have never seen anything like this. 707-((number deleted)). ((name deleted))
