Light over Tallahassee, FL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
On the night of June 29, 2015, I saw a very bright light next to a western star. This light did not appear to move. I was driving and turned away from it heading to a local pub. The bouncer said he saw the same thing in he western sky at 21:45. I saw it at 22:00. Tonight on June 30, 2015, I was driving again and saw the same light. Except this time I was able to watch it for a good 15 minutes while I was stopped and at traffic lights. This light was still next to a small star in the sky but the this time I saw this light fade in and out. When the light went out it was just a faint gray dot in the sky. The light would come back on gradually to get brighter and brighter. I made it to my destination and told everybody what I had just seen for the last two nights. They (my family) wanted to go outside to see "it". The only thing we got to see is a bunch of aircrafts flying in formation. Three in formation 1 flying off in opposite direction with fast blinking lights at odd speeds. And one very normal plane going to the airport off from the others. For a total of 5 planes at the same time around the time of 22:10. We strongly suspect that the two bright objects in the northwestern sky were Venus and Jupiter. PD

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 arrived at work and I parked my car in front of the building. The sky was clear without clouds. As I was walking, I looked into the sky I saw something that was flashing lights or reflecting light from the sunrise. I noticed that the object was bouncing and changing directions very fast so I took few pics before the object disappeared.

On 12/28/2020 at 2:45 pm, it was a bright and sunny day with no clouds in the sky. I was walking outside in my neighborhood that has a lot of pine trees, and when I came to an incline with a clearing of trees that exposed the sky, I looked up and noticed 3 distinct bright white round objects arranged in a straight line moving west. As I continued walking, I noticed that the 3 objects began to move around each other as you would move shells in a shell game. They slowed down, almost stopping, then formed a perfect triangle. This is when I tried to take a video, which I got for a second or so until a tree branch obscured my view. As I moved to an opening to keep watching, the 3 triangular objects merged into 1 oblong object that was now moving in the opposite direction (east). The object kept moving eastward as one oblong object. There was a passenger airplane in the vicinity, that was distinctly and obviously an airplane, unlike these 3 objects that moved, sl! owed, changed shape and direction. I watched the object(s) for about 5 minutes, then kept walking, while they were still present.

I was walking out to my truck after dark around 8:30 pm to leave after having dinner with my aunt and uncle. I stopped and looked up to the sky for some reason when I unlocked my vehicle door. I saw what I believed to be a satellite moving slowly across the sky. It was simply just a dot of light far away. Then the object moved quickly downward and I knew it wasn’t a satellite. I gazed in awe as another bright light quickly moved towards it. They were moving very unnaturally. I stared for about one minute before the tree line obstructed my view.

Craft was moving across sky. A picture of this was taken on a game camera. One frame it was there the next frame the craft was gone. The trail camera was attached to a tree in the woods I hunt in. The craft was a bright white. There were multiple lights shining out out of.the craft. This information I have on a SD card.
