Light over Indiatlantic, FL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
While sitting on Indialantic board walk around 5:30 Sunday morning, again I looked up and saw a white that that I first thought was a star, until I realized that it was moving very slowly, after having been stationary for some time. Then the light began to get dimmer as it continued to move. This lasted for about a minute. It was not moving very fast or far, but it gradually faded, and then completely disappeared, while still almost directly overhead. Three weeks prior to this even, on another Sunday morning around the same time at the same location, I was looking at the stars and noticed one directly over-head, and it got my attention. After I had looked down for a few moments, I looked back up to see if I could see that star again. When I had looked back, I noticed that the light had gotten both brighter and larger in size since the last time I had looked at it. It continued to get larger and brighter until it was bigger than any star that I had ever seen. Then, still not moving, it began to get slowly dimmer. This lasted for about a minute, until it had totally disappeared.

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.
