Unknown over Aurora, OH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was walking on the sidewalk heading north in my neighborhood. It was approximately 00:25 on 09/14/2014. The sky was clear with many stars visible. The houses here are spaced apart with some lighting on the houses and driveways and no street lights in the area where I was standing. I noticed three reddish lights in a triangular formation in the northern sky seeming to rise and with a brighter light than the stars. They continued to rise until they were no longer visible. There were no contrails or sounds. As soon as they seemed to dim then disappear another two appeared which were in a vertical orientation. These too rose into the sky and then dimmed and disappeared. I used my phone to video these and while dim I think provide a decent image. I am a current airline pilot and I have never seen anything 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.

Moving in a South to North direction we observed what we believed were balloons, then maybe drones, were 5 black square flying objects high in the sky moving quickly and evenly spaced. Was not reflective, but slightly rotated as they traveled.

Single red/ orange light, continuously lit and silent as it moved from South to North at a surprisingly low altitude in the night sky. No sound, straight trajectory, maintained speed. Very bright, no 'tail'. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
