The report, as filed
A friend and I were trying to get some good photos of the "Supermoon" Lunar Eclipse on Sept. 28th, around midnight. We were out on the balcony of our apartment and were using both my cell phone for pics and his out dated telescope to try to possibly take some nice pics of this cool event. I downloaded 3 applications that would possibly have a telescopic or zoom affect on my phone for odvious reasons..the camera is terrible for far away pics. During this period of pics taken I did not use my friends telescope to capture photos ..only my phone. The applications were a telescopic for telescope pics( can attach cell to telescope physically) and a so called filter or night vision app. and an app that flip flops dark and light..whatever the object being photographed the whiter or lighter colored object is reversed to black and the black object is reversed to white (easier to see in dark conditions). I started to take pics noticing an odd "bubble like" object that kind of bounced in front of the huge glowing moon. It would be in front of the moon for a second..then to the right side diagonally and then in front like it was closer to me. This lasted about 15 min.'s. In the beginning I thought maybe it was my camera reflecting the brightness of the illuminated moon. I wiped the lense over and over. The object was still the same shape and continued to become clearer. It appeared to look like a star when I looked by eye and when I looked through the camera on my phone, which was magnified it looked to be a clearish blue-tinted bubble and then turned a pale pink. I believe there were two objects but the other disappeared and I was only able to really capture this single object. The photos are taken with 3 seperate apps but same cell phone. I cannot say what this was that I saw and I have no opinion to voice. My friend and I were wondering if anyone else could shed some light on this "very cool" occurance. So glad I was able to share my pics. Thank you.

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.

These 16 lights appeared in the North West sky.I spotted the first 2 at 21:00 then came in the house to tell family members to come look at the lights i just spotted. These lights would appear one after another at 5 second intervals very dim then bright then just fade away. The lights were in different flight patterns but all came from the same direction.

While lighting fireworks and watching neighbors fireworks in the sky I seen what was the shape of a triangle coming from the NE. At 8pm there was still enough light to make out aircraft that was in route to Ontario airport or an nother destination, and they were frequently moving at a predetermined amount of time, I could see the helicopters flying in and out infrequently, but you could tell they where helicopters, a couple of low flying private planes could also be seen, but then I seen a triangle moving in from the NE then turning and going south. The group wasn't moving fast and was pretty quiet compared to all the FW's that was going off. I looked in my truck looking for my binoculars it wasn't there and I wasn't carrying my phone. So I moved to a darker area to focus on those aircraft, and I could make out bands on the wings, I want to say they that they had two green bands, one on each wing, but it was dark and what they were escorting was a very bright! golden/yellow craft that I could not make out completely but that it was very bright and leading the two escort jets, and they headed south. From my perspective if you hold you two fingers in the air, arm extended, and leave a gap of about an inch, that's approx how close they were. My only fault is I didn't record anything.
