The report, as filed
Stepped outside of restaurant located near center of city upon crest of large hill while Fast moving clouds reflecting orange light. Lit a cigarette while watching a helicopter leave the area of the hospital traveling south until sound of craft ended. A short time later, maybe 3 minutes (finishing cigarette,last two inhales) orb appeared in the far east with back drop of orange glow from city lights contrasting a pulsating red orb, moving across sky at approx 1500 feet above the deck with cloud ceiling approximately 500 feet beyond. Kept expecting to see white light from helicopter thinking it had swung around and returned but there was no light coming from this object. It was not making a sound. Clouds were moving west to east...orb moved east to west. It was NOT any kind of man made craft I had ever seen or witnessed before and changed in shape and dynamic...it was not a true sphere, shapes formed in the absence of surface as it seemed to pulsate only once! in my presence but continued on...the size of it was about that of a compact car but taller in terms of height, and seemed to be of a deliberate intention. No plane could move this way. More like a helicopter but what made the hairs on my neck stand up was that the sound I had just experienced never returned like I expected it to and when it was closest to my location I realized this was like no other object I had ever seen in my entire life...it just happened to be in the sky when I looked up. I could not account for 2 hours of my time between clocking out from work and the 10 minute walk to my apartment. My phone was at 100% charge when I left work, having been on the charger all night, was completely dead when I tried to take pictures.

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.
