The report, as filed
UFO Report May 30, 2015. On Saturday, May 30, 2015, at approximately 8:00 PM, over the Green Valley area of Henderson, NV, my wife and I got in the car to go out and eat, like we do every Saturday night. We got in the car and turned around the corner just a 100 ft from our home and a bright light caught the corner of eye and I looked up and couldn't believe what I was seeing. There was a huge triangular shaped black ship with seven large bright lights on the two sides of the V-shaped front. I could see the ship up close, as I am sure it was below 1000 ft elevation and still daylight. It had been a rainy and overcast day in the Las Vegas area and it appeared that the ship had just popped out of a low cloud bank. My wife couldn't see it, as she was sitting on the other side of the car, so I stopped and asked her to get out and look up, but just as she started get out, it disappeared. It was like someone turned a switch and it disappeared before my eyes. I had a clear visual look at the ship for about! 45 seconds. The ship was large with a 300 to 500 ft long triangular sides and looked like a flat black wing which seemed very super sonic. The unusual thing was the lights, they were not mounted on the superstructure. There was a rigging made with black pipes attached to the fuselage that held the lights and protruded out from the ship about 10 feet. I questioned how they could fly through the atmosphere at high speed with lights like that. There were seven lights, one right on the point and 3 each down each side. They were large, rectangular, the longest length vertical. They were 3 or 4 ft high and 2 or 3 ft wide. The ship was moving very slow, less than 30 miles an hour and there was no noise of visible engines or intakes. I am very familiar with the B2 bomber, as a saw it fly over very low over us at at the Rose Parade, several years ago. I also had the opportunity to stand under it at Nellis AFB during Air Force air show a few years ago. The ship I saw was bigger than the B2, possibly two or three times the size. It is scary to even think about this huge thing was hovering only about five or six hundred above the roof tops of the homes in the Las Vegas area.

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.

At approximately 1023 AM while walking northwest along Canyon Village Parkway near Mint Orchard Drive in Henderson, Nevada I had just completed my morning jog when I observed an extremely bright red flash in the skyline just to the east of Black Mountain towards Las Vegas. I then witnessed what appeared to be a round metallic object continue to flash in an extremely bright red light similar to a welding torch. I thought at first it may have been an aircraft reflecting sunlight as the sun was to my back, but it remained stationary approximately 3-5 miles due northwest at about 45 degrees above the skyline just to the east of Black Mountain from my location. It continued to flash brightly for a couple of minutes. There seemed to be no pattern to the flashes. After about 5 minutes, I then witnessed two bright white orbs appear from the east and west of the flashing object. The two orbs were smaller than the first object and stopped to each side adjacent to the flashing red light. The orbs were illuminated in a very bright white light and remained solid in color. After five minutes, all three objects disappeared. There was no sound and I could not tell which direction they went as they just seemed to vanish. As a military veteran, I have no explanation as to what these objects could have been. I definitely know that they were not any aircraft or any balloon.

8:08 pm 2/3/23- I’m watching the thick cloud-covered sky from my balcony when suddenly I catch movement in my right eye so I turned toward the airport when a large black smooth-edged triangle comes out of the clouds towards me about where planes are hovering to land. It came towards me then made a tight u-turn and went shooting up and into the clouds. I watched itt shoot up through the thick black clouds then disappeared. IT NEVER MADE A SOUND! Did anyone else see it?

My wife & I had an unobstructed view of the entire sky filled with star like crafts slowly moving across the sky. I viewed this alone for about 35 minutes before waking up my wife to corroborate my experience. If I could take a picture of the sky during these 90 minutes, you would see in upwards of 200-300 craft in the sky, every single minute during the course of these specific ninety minutes. It looked like stars moving across the sky. Except I've never seen that many stars in the sky before. These crafts seemed much closer than stars. If I were to give an estimate, they were inside our atmosphere or just slightly outside of it. For every 10-20 lightly dimmed craft, there was a slightly larger, brighter craft that seemed to be "leading" the others. None of these crafts made any noise. These crafts were randomly spaced out from each other, but they were all moving in the same Northeast to Southwest direction. They were all moving at the same speed, which seemed to be maybe 700-800 mph. From my vantage point, the crafts seemed to separated from eachother by no more than 3,000 feet. During these 90 minutes the clouds were scarcely seen in the southwest skies. Looking North and East, the sky was completely unobstructed by clouds for the entire 90 minutes. After the 90 minutes, clouds rolled in and completely blanketed the sky. This subsequently ended my ability to see these crafts.

Noticed object in the sky not moving. It was a clear morning, so the lights shown bright. Looked around the sky and there wasn't any aircraft visible. Yet, the object continued to hover in the sky not moving

At 20:50 I observed 3 circular objects moving through the sky. They had Orange flashing lights. 2 of the objects were very,very close together. The 3rd trailed behind. The object's altitude was about 1500 feet. The 2 objects that were together moved further away from the 3rd. Once they had moved about 5000 feet from 3rd they flashed their orange light brighter 1 time then they were no longer visible. The 3rd object contined flying toward their last location. It suddenly was not visible, no bright flash.
