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.

They come in about 7:00 or 8:00 p.m. when it's dark they were over heavenly Ski Resort and above ski run Boulevard down to the lake but I spotted them as far as Emerald Bay Cave Rock and Incline Village so they're everywhere over 50 I saw it was a cloudy night a little bit of rain they use the clouds as cover and they blend well with stars they look like stars and tell you really pay attention and then you can see them kind of going up down circular motions zipping quickly some steady they even appear to be sitting just above the water on the lake and I seem to be searching for something not sure what but it was a very large Gathering it seemed like they brought the whole colony I see if she thought it was going to be an invasion based on how many there were never seen anything like that in my life I have lots more videos and pictures summer too big to upload but I I have pictures and photos

I was just finishing picking-up yard debris in my backyard when my husband came outside. I mentioned how beautiful the stars were looking tonight. As I was looking up I saw what I thought was a plane but it seemed a little too bright and round to be a plane and it didn’t have the red and green blinking position lights. It was round but not perfectly round. The edges were slightly jagged. I followed it and it wasn’t moving in a straight line. It was wiggly, moving suddenly slightly to the left and then to the right. I asked my husband if I was imagining, thinking something was wrong with my eyes. He said he sees it too and mentioned that the craft wasn’t making any noise so it couldn’t be a helicopter. He exclaimed "I think it’s a UFO!" We continued watching it and as it moved further away. The brightly lit craft started to flicker then it dimmed and “poof!” In a flash, the light of the craft went-out and disappeared!

For over an hour in the tahoe sky way high up a light jumped around in the sky, so I videoed it and took pictures.

I was driving down the street I live on heading north, I noticed a abnormally bright light that was pulsating straight ahead. I pulled over to get a better look. While watching some kind of object that had a flashing light came from above at a very high rate of speed and either buzzed past at very close range or met up with the bright object because I could not see where it went because of the large bright object. After approx ten minutes, the large bright object began moving south at a high rate of speed until I could not see it any longer.

As I was looking over the photos I had taken while hiking in Van Sickle Bi-State Park, I noticed a UFO in the sky in one of my photos. I did not see the object "live", I only noticed it after the fact. I also took a 2nd photo that was identical in composition to the UFO-bearing photo just a few seconds later. There was no UFO in the 2nd photo. Both photos bear the time stamp of 1:35PM. It was a bright and sunny afternoon. There were a few other hikers in the area, but the park was largely empty while I was hiking. The UFO in my photo is somewhat rectangular, with a black bottom, silver sides, and an antenna coming out of the top. There is also a bright circle of light on the underside of the UFO.
