The report, as filed
I stepped into the backyard at 11:09 pm 8-23-14, and I saw this lighted object flying very low and fast, coming from the wooded area behind our home, and as it was entering into the open sky between my house and the neighbor's home, it simply vaporized away right in front of me only to be followed by at 11:11 a streaking fireball which was like an intense bright "falling star" which also was to be followed in the same exact spot there in that open sky between our homes at 11:14 by a dimmer lit streaking fireball following the same exact downward trajectory. The lighted flying craft did not seem to be out of the ordinary but it was only visible for 5-6 seconds in a clear sky but instantly as I stopped at attention to gaze at it, its lights went out and no trace of the craft was to be seen. The two fiery streaks seemed as they were the results of something firing at that area the craft went invisible in. I stayed until the mosquitos forced me to leave and! there was no more activity during my ten minutes of admiring just beautiful star lit skies. This section of town is a hot bed of activity for UFO sightings as of late. I'm sure there would be more UFO reportings but the stinging mosquitos and variety of biting deer flies, yellow flies and horse flies and gnats are so intense they keep us from being outdoors as often as we'd like to be. It has rained all summer long and the insects are in huge numbers and the Black River is very swampy to begin with. I've seen (along with witnesses) Foo Fighters (flying round silver balls) in this same area here in broad daylight following jets right on their tail and in 1987 I encountered the first of many UFO sightings in this same area which were three craft flying so low they lit up the tops of the pines along the river. We heard strange mechanical noises coming from the swamps at odd hours of the wee morning many times. It sounded like an oil derrick in operation. This went on for three years then stopped. I moved here in that year so who knows how long it has been going on like this!

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.

Three red lights. The length of several football fields or more! Two on both ends and one in the center. Made no noise what-so-ever. Was very eerie to witness. Saw from the back yard. Wife watched it also. It was being followed by what looked like an airplane as lights flashed red and white from the object in pursuit of it. Other aircraft were flying where it had to be noticed (in front and across the sky). The craft had to be humongous. And there had to be other witnesses. No way did that "thing" get by just us seeing it! Anyone driving down highway 421 or the backroads had to glimpse it gliding by.

I went out my back door just a few minutes after eight pm on a Thursday night to investigate a noise to find it was only an intoxicated neighbor doing his usual "raising sand" routine, so I started back to my house regretting that I wasted my time to even look into the situation. As I turned the corner at the back of my house I encountered a "V" shaped pattern of large reddish lights entering the area above my neighbor's home to the side of me. This pattern was as large as a football field in length and was not too far above tree top level. I opened the back door and screamed for the wife to come outside immediately! She came running out holding her cell phone and we just stood there in awe as a formation of lights in a "V" shaped pattern came gliding slowly over the house next door. She exclaimed... This is the mother lode of all our encounters!" I replied... "No this is the mother ship!" These were not small light! s like on a regular aircraft but were quite large and I know there were five for sure very spaced out in between but can't say there were more as I was noticing it was going forward but coming sideways towards us slowly. It actually reminded me of a smaller version of the Phoenix, Arizona, lights even though it was huge enough in it's own dimensions. I told her to call her mother (who is that neighbor next door) and when the wife dialed her the phone lit up brightly and the airship then backed up from coming our way and continued sailing on by above the yard next door. Her mom and dad came to the door just to see the last light disappear into to adjacent woods. I only then at that particular point of the entire encounter heard a quiet motorized sound but never heard anything otherwise during the entire encounter. We never saw the ship clearly because my father in law installed a blinding LED type street light in his back yard that has totally destroyed the beauty of the night! sky we have been used to because he don't like the darkness being a cover for evil doers. The wife did not have time to snap a photo or video because by the time she dialed her mom and hung up it was backing off of coming our way and still sailing onwards entering into the wooded area. I just hugged the wife while watching this event which made it a super and knowing the partying neighbors were too stoned even know it went over their heads a few minutes before made it funny to ponder. We were not scared but in awe.
