Changing over Warner Robins, GA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was walking home from school on the night of May 16th, 2014. I live near an Air Force Base, so you can often see planes taking off. From where I was standing, I could see a yellowish white light that looked like the landing lights on a plane taking off and heading south and I thought nothing of it. I continued to casually observe it "taking off" until it made a definite right angle turn and picked up speed heading west, right over me. (I'm unsure of it's exact altitude but if I could guess, I would say maybe 1000-1200ft) In the midst of being completely stricken with fear nor having time I did not have time to grab my phone and record it as I would like to have but I will do my best to draw a picture and post it below. It moved so fast that if I were to look away it would have flown over the tree line near me and I would have missed it. As it began to fly over me, I observed the object grow a long tail and change colors. From the base it was a yellow white color, like a light. Then when it passed overhead it had a hazy, faded or transparent look to it. I could see through the object and then grew into a bright blue to green, and then puple, then orange and flew over the tree line. I have been to many air shows where jets will fly loud, low and fast and to this day never seen an object move like that. The best way I can describe it's speed was faster than a jet but slower than a meteorite, and what was the eeriest thing about it other than it changing angles and colors so abruptly, was it made absolutely no sound at all. I was so scared of something happening to me that I called my mother and my girlfriend at the time to let them know of what I had just seen, in case something were to have happened to me. A few hours later I also made a Facebook post about it and noted someone else saw the object. I was 18 at the time and am now 26. I am now finding the courage to talk about this to others more frequently because it was so bizarre and I think of it often.

Ask for the records
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.

I was going to get a pizza and I at first saw it thinking it was a bird or a balloon but it stopped in mid air. I watched it till I went down the road when I got out of the car it was gone.

It appeared to be a sphere travling at a high atilitude and very fast. The flashes seemed to be from reflecting in the sun. It was spotted from Robins Air Force Base control tower. It seemed to be traveling behind another aircraft that was at FL 280. It was spotted to the North West traveling South East. It was not observed on our radar.

Object flying at high altitude, about as high as airliner, was seen by 4 witnesses flying or floating over Houston County, GA from 1838 (approx. overhead) to 1855 (when it could no longer be seen on horizon). Seen on 5/14/2021. Object traveled in a southeast bound trajectory. Object seemed to shift change, flash lights, and or shimmer irregularly. Shimmer or lights were silver, white, or yellow. Object was moving much slower than an aircraft, did not emitt any detectable sound. I took video of object, sketched at time of viewing, and took notes. Object may be high altitude silver balloon, or ballon group, however object seemed to be too high to be ordinary party balloons. An aircraft was seen in the vicinity of balloon at approximate altitude as baloon. My estimate is that it must have been at well over 18Kft.

On April 15 at about 9:30 PM, looking at the stars, I noticed that a line of objects was made that looked like airplanes, but when I noticed and kept looking, there were many (approximately more than 30). All in formation, keeping the same distance, and without making any noise.

My wife and I were standing in our driveway in western Warner Robins, watching Fourth of July fireworks all around us, both from our neighorhood and from large fireworks displays further away. There were some large fireworks off to the NE that we could see, at which point we spotted a light flying in our general direction. At first we thought it was an ember from the fireworks, as it was the same color as a flame, but embers usually burn out relatively quickly. We concluded it must not be when it kept on going and didn't lose its luminosity. It didn't make a sound as it flew over our neighborhood in a straight line towards the SW at a speed of approximately 15-20 mph and an altitude of approximately 3/4-1 mile. We watched it as it flew off into the distance until we could not see it anymore. A few minutes passed, and another object, exactly the same as the first in every way (same altitude and speed) came from the same location and followed the same trajectory. This time, my wife was able to find my spyglass and I got a closer look at it. It was very dark outside by this point so I could really only make out the light, but there was just enough sunlight where I thought I could make out a dark shape around the moving light, like there was more to the object than just the light. I am not 100% sure about this as it was pretty far away and very dark by the time I got the spyglass.
