The report, as filed
I took my daughter to the mall shopping for her birthday coming up. As we were leaving, my daughter pointed out a light in the sky and said, "Hey mom, what is that?" Let it be known, I have never seen a UFO, though I have studied the phenomenon in depth. My children are teens and are aware of this too. We are always skywatching when we are out and about but don't take time out of our day to do this. I'm always looking up due to what I know has been occurring around the world in increased frequency. Anyway, it was far enough away to not be able to make out a true shape but very large. It was not a star, it was not an airplane, it was not a tower, airport, anything like that. I'm a huge skeptic so I went through all of the possibilities internally...nothing fit. There was a smaller light that seem to be fading in and out and zooming into the craft and away again. We decided to follow it. It was only hovering at first but then it began to move slowly away. I finally found a dark road and have two pieces of footage. The craft was further away from us at this point and began to change colors from green, red, blue. The little light (possible craft) was still going away from it and going back in to it but at this point it was so far away it could have been a star. At the mall, it was pretty clear and large. Well clear enough to know it wasn't a star, satellite, or anything remotely close to what I've ever seen in the sky on earth. It was hovering again on the second footage. I would like to have this footage analyzed. How can I get someone to do this? I want to know what this was?

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.

I was fascinated with the formation of the approaching storm cell and thought it would make for a cool picture. I notice the light while taking the second picture and as I attempt to take another It ascended up into the clouds. I'm curious to know if it's speed might can be calculated. Both pictures were taken within one minute. I paused to change filters which might have taken 20 seconds or so. The object in question is to the lower left of the very bright street light in the first picture, and above the street light in the second picture. Side note: not Venus or Jupiter

I was driving down the road and saw this thing in the sky. It was dark outside It was almost silent, and huge. I think it had three white lights that blinked, along with two red lights that also blinked,but not in any particular pattern. It was really hard to make out the shape, but it looked like triangular/boomerang-ish. It went the opposite direction of where i was headed, and it was like once it got across the street, it went to the right real fast. The light I was sitting at changed green, so I didn't see much else of it afterwards.

We were outside discussing plans for the upcoming weeks. I saw the object come into the upper part of my field of vision my eyes snapped to it. In an instant it was gone over the horizon. I looked at the person next to me and asked if they just seen it as well. They said yes and confirmed the light that I had seen. It had 5 lights in a cross formation 4 white and 1 red. The red light was right in the center. Travel direction was north-east. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
