Light over Key Largo, FL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Small bright white object moving west to east at approximately 500 feet altitude probably 5 to 7 times faster than F/A-18 fighters jets out of Boca Chica base. No sound. No smoke plume. From my vantage point on highway; view was Gulf Horizon to Atlantic Horizon. Object passed across 60% of visible sky in 2 – 2.5 seconds.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #114561). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
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.

On Wednesday night 8/5/15 I was coming back from my walk. It was about 9:00 p.m. and had just gotten totally dark. I was turning the corner from the bike/jogging path, along the main highway, into my subdivision. I was walking south, when I looked up saw this light. It was red, white and blue, and blinking like a strobe light. It was moving quite fast to the east towards the Atlantic Ocean. I'm right under one of the flight paths to Miami International Airport so I see blinking lights all the time. This light seemed to be moving much too fast for an aircraft. This was different. I thought must be a plane but why is it moving so fast??? It didn't make any noise and I couldn't tell how high up it was and thought.. Drone??? The lights pulsed and flashed like a strobe light. I walked as fast as I could nearing my street which faces east trying to keep an eye on it. It was moving east and I couldn't keep up with it as it went behind the tree line. Then standing on my street I was able to catch this extremely fast moving light. It had turned now moving more northerly. The strobe lights had split into two sections one on the right, the other on the left going on/off alternately. What perplexed me was this was just a single multi-color strobe was now two lights alternating and seemed very wide apart. I thought maybe a banking airplane, and now I was able to see the lights on both wings. The lights jumped back and forth in a zigzag fashion. They weren't on a straight line of sight, as one would see on aircraft wings. The strobes blinked in an 8 o'clock and 2 o'clock configuration and then changed to a 10 o'clock and 4 o'clock going back and forth. I only could see it a few more seconds before it was gone behind more trees. ((CORRECTION FROM CAREFUL READER)) Hi, Report on 8-5-2015, Key Largo, 21:15 ? Entered twice.
