A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
There were 2 moving lights, floating around in yard,slowly moved by the window then moved back and were flashing, opposite me, like they took a picture. Also up in the trees I saw a cluster of glowing, strobe-like flashing, and then twinkling lights, getting brighter then dimming,changing colors, with no sound. At first I thought they were fireworks, but they were NOT fire works. They stayed in the exact spot for an hour.This is not the first time I have seen these. A few days ago, I saw 2 fireballs behind my house. (I looked out the window when I noticed lights in the woods) They quickly came into view above the trees at a very high speed, leaving a contrail like a comet. They then appeared to play and moved around in the back yard, and I noticed at the same time there was the cluster in the tree in a similar spot, and height as last night. The small balls of light also came by the window and flashed. It seemed as though they were watching and observing me. Then they just disappeared, orbs and cluster in trees.

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.
