Sphere over Marco Island, FL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Myself and 2 friends were sitting on the balcony facing NW while noticing a light that hovered above the Gulf of Mexico and was changing colors. ever so slightly in the gradation. Turning white then blue then red then green. Pulsating. Thought maybe it was a boat except it was bouncing slightly then went backwards then forwards. Slowly. Boats don't have these lights, it was almost plasma like the way it changed. A white orb flashed once. Like a signal... The light that varied in color came from NW and continued South for about a half hour. Almost like it was looking down on something. Maybe following something. Since June 2014 I have witnessed several events that prompted my contacting you. I'm in such awe with knowing that what I am seeing isn't familiar I finally deem it worthy.

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.

White oval object observed passing overhead. No sound, trail or lights. Unsure of altitude, did not seem very high (maybe 1000 ft?), but moving very fast from south to north. Day was mostly sunny, the area of the sky object observed against was clear blue. It disappeared towards north horizon before it could be observed with binoculars which were in my backpack or by my husband who was under a beach umbrella next to me at the time.

I was on a dinner boat cruise on June 28th, 2018, on Marco Island in Florida. I was actually just taking a picture of the storm clouds and noticed a couple weeks later these bright lighted disk shaped objects. I enlarged the photo I took and was amazed at the 7 UFO's that were captured. There is also a string of lights double row just below where the UFO's were flying. The best way to show you is to forward my pictures and would be thrilled to submit to the address below. We believe they are reflections of ceiling lights. PD

25-30 light orange. Flying along coast. Flying slow. They were spaced out. Some were higher and some were lower. Saw from grocery store parking lot. Others in parking lot were taking pictures and a few people had pulled their cars over to look. Maybe military but seemed to high to be helicopters and too slow for planes. Not sure. Wanted to see if anyone else had reported it.

I thought I saw a shooting star or lightning. So I stared at the sky (northwest in the sky over the gulf) to see if I indeed see something (i was still remembering the previous night's experience). The light, which were flashes and illuminated by very light clouds (why I thought it was lightning) was darting and spiraling across vast distances appearing and reappearing. From the North to the West then back North East I haven't seen activity like this before. It seemed playful and carefree (?).

I was walking north on the beach on Marco Island when I looked up after I heard a loud plane. It was a grey colored single engined plan
