Cigar over Orlando, FL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
While sitting in my pool, I was facing east, looking up at a beautiful blue sky, when I noted a bright white oblong object. I stared at it, then seen a pin point of white light at about the 7 o'clock position from the larger object as I watched it it appeared another pinpoint of white light came near the other smaller light and then blinked out. While watching these objects I looked to the lower right of the larger object at about the 4 O'clock position and noted another pin point of light. At this point I was observing one larger object and the 2 pinpoints of light. Occasionally the 4th would blink on by the one at the 7 O'clock position. I started to doubt what I was seeing thinking perhaps I was just looking a some debris's on the screening. I got out of the pool and walked outside of the screen room and the objects were still there. I went back into my seating spot in the pool and continued to watch for close to 25 minutes. All of a sudden they all vanished in the blink of an eye. I sat there for a while still looking up at the sky and then saw what I assumed to be the larger object higher in the sky but did not see the smaller objects. I will try an give some idea as to where the objects were using a structural beam of my screen room. The beam is parallel to my patio approximately 10 feet off the deck. I was sitting in my pool on a seat approximately 18 inches below the deck. The large object appeared about 12 to 14 inches above this beam and appeared to be 3/8 of an inch long. The object at the 7 o'clock position appeared to be about 3 inches below the larger object. The object at the 4 o'clock position was about 6 to 7 inches from the larger object. I have watched shuttle and rocket launches at the cape from my backyard and the larger object seemed to be in that proximity. With the exception of one of the pinpoints of light all the others remained stationary.

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 standing outside waiting for the Falcon launch, when a red orb appeared above a neighbors house and it began to travel West towards me very slowly for about a minute. When it slowly turned South and traveled a short time before it was “enveloped” into a dark mass. I had my phone in my hand waiting for the launch, and I’m absolutely sure that it wasn’t the Falcon 9..

Date 02/27/2023 time first seen 2:45 dissappeard somewhere between 2:49 and 2:50. A cylinder shaped object, fell from the sky towards NW (north west) from where i was standing (which was at the front of the dennys restaurant, the area closest to the semoran road) it had a thick trail of white that followed it, the trail did not stay in the air. The object falling appeared to be all white. The object fell for about 2 minutes and then appeared to have stopped for a moment, it then changed directions, and started falling diagonally. And after going diagonal for about a minute the trail behind it began to dissappear and I could no longer see the trail or the object. Appears to be a normal contrail

It happened very fast. I saw the object through my window. I live close to the airport but have never seen a plane this close or going on that direction. It was way too big to be a drone. It was very quiet and it happened too fast to take a pic of video. A few minutes after I noticed the fountain in the lake behind my home was off but no idea if there's a connection. I would just like to know how many others saw the same thing.

I took a picture of my bird feeder near sunset and in the picture I noticed an emerald green sphere in the sky. When I enhanced the picture it appears to be a spacecraft. The sky was clear.

I saw from my back yard something very bright coming from the east to the west at very high speed it was so bright and fast I barely had time to pull my phone out to take a quick video at the same time I was calling my wife out to see it. When it got over us it blew up and lit the sky it disappeared then it reappeared but in two fire balls then came back together into one large ball and took off again in high speed.
