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 happened to look out my bedroom window at around 2:30am and I saw a small circular UFO that blinked between white and black. it moved up and down and left and right and loop-d-looped. The bottom part of my window was covered with a drop-cloth because my parents and I are getting new shades for our windows. I tried taking a video and photos of the UFO but my flip-phone apparently does not allow for that function. I got our binoculars but the binoculars did not work well and I could not get a clear sight on the lense. I had my TV on because I was watching the news. I watch the news in the middle of the night. My parents were sleeping and nobody in my neighborhood was awake apparently. We live in a gated community in Fort Myers, Florida. There is a sidewalk in front of out house and nobody was walking on the sidewalk and no cars drove by on our street. I did not tell my parents about this UFO sighting. I have seen vidoes of this type of UFO sighting that I saw on the internet. It is the first time I have seen a UFO with my own eyes.

An "L" shaped craft with 5-7 white, circular rings on its undercarriage. The object looked like a boomarang that was short on one of its side and had no visible lights on its surface. Was illuminated only by city lights and barely visible. Object was very low in the atmosphere (nearly below the clouds) and was making no noise. Speed was between 50-100 mph. Object was headed from 190 degrees South to 10 degrees North. Although likely irelevent, the sighting was preceeded by a rather large shooting star sighting.

A bright light moving across the lower horizon, not appearing to be a plane but something much larger, glowing, and creating smoke and a very large smoke circle in the sky. Visible at night. I was only able to get a halfway decent photo as the smoke circle was fading. But you can faintly see it behind the glowing object in the photo attached.

I am not sure if it was a balloon or a UFO, but I first noticed the object in the sky far away and I thought it was a bird. As the object got closer, it look like it was spinning in circles and illuminating in light and then got darker and then brighter again. The object was quiet and moving maybe 10 to 15 mph. It was shaped like a triangle and then stopped spinning in circles when it was approaching over my apartment and continued moving straight. There was no wind and the weather was calm. I believe it did not have the characteristics of a balloon because there was no design on it or a string attached to the object. I have never seen anything like the object I saw. There were no blinking lights too. When I first noticed the object I was stunned and then realized I should try to record the UFO on my phone before it went away.

So I came outside and was listening to music than I saw shiny little light in the sky. Sun can't be that small than I saw the sun behind the cloud because it was massive and brighter. And just letting you know I dont want nothing to do with this I am just reporting in case you found something by the way it looks like it was going up straight

A single ship covered in a cloud like fog created a spotlight in the dead of night. The spotlight guided a small bright light/orb down and then the ship seemingly disappeared and left a large cloud like remnant in its wake. We had over 15 witnesses seeing the events take place and we have recordings and photos etc. It was undeniable super natural.
