Disk over Racine, WI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
On 8/30/2014 at 23:23, we observed a disk shaped craft in the night sky. When we first saw the craft, the craft was lit up with an amber/orange colored light. We immediately started to discuss the craft and as soon as we spoke about it, the light dimmed and turned off, as if to camouflage itself from view. The craft was still visible even without the light, as it was flying very low and was quite large. The craft moved rather quickly but made no noise as it moved above us. The craft continued to fly past and eventually, we lost view of it. This was not an airplane or helicopter. This was something much, much different and something I have never seen before.

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.

Fast white orb lights in formation then instantly turned off way high in the southeast sky. Moving West to East. Later saw individual bright white orb lights about 5 minutes apart traveling on the same plane Bright white for 2 seconds then turned off to nothing. No clouds in the sky for any of this. Thank You.

It was night and I exited my truck. When I looked at the sky, I saw a usual red light. The light appeared to be some sort of flying object and it was moving. I had to pass my phone to the person with me because they needed a flashlight. When I looked back at the sky, it was out of sight. This was at a street nearby the beach and downtown. Initially, I thought it might have been a phone tower or plane but it behaved like neither. I strongly believe that I witnessed a UFO that night.

A line of UFOs in the sky headed east toward lake Michigan. Must of been 16 square/rectangular light objects flying in close line followed by 4 or 5 single space out crafts similar to the group In front.

6-8 silver discs in direct sunlight. Objects faded in and out, the lead objects had a reddish hue, and the generally formed a v and them a circlular shape. Multiple airlines passed for my personal comparison. They disappeared soon after we started videoing and none are apparent on devices. I believe they were just too far. My video started while the last once was still visible. I’d consider the possibility of weather balloon explanation except the way they disappeared, they didn’t fade away bc or distance they disappeared. They were far but not that far to disappear from sight. I was looking east and was located in west Racine. We have a 1 min video I’ll try to send.

At 12:13am on January 6, 2019, me and my girlfriend saw an object shaped like a diamond with 4 lights directly above us...they appeared to be stars, at first, but only a few hundred feet above. We stopped the car and got out, as we looked for about 5 seconds out of the car it began to take off slow than really fast till we chased it for 10 seconds in the car before we lost sight of it headed over Milwaukee... Object moved like a stealth plane making no noise and made turns left to right normal air crafts don't. but again I could see thru it as it copied the night sky.
