The report, as filed
Happened when I was taking my dogs for a walk. I was looking up towards the west and saw a tiny light, about the size of what a star would be. This small light was hard to see, but it was steadily moving southbound. From my point of view, the object probably moved south about the distance of my hand if I held it up. As it continued south, it kept getting harder and harder to see. Eventually I lost track of the object, or could no longer see it. It looked as though whatever it was must have been very far away. No blinking lights, no noise, just a small light moving across a small section of the sky.

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 just left the house for work, driving eastward toward Saint John's catholic church, when out of my left peripheral I saw something moving through the tree line, when it appeared directly in front of me, I saw a sphere shape silverish object, spinning and reflecting light. When it stopped above the church, I decided to record, then it just glided off. I sure would like to know what it was. [NUFORC annotation: Balloon - Probable]

There was a triangle flying in the sky, roughly 1000 feet in the air, with 3 bright white spotlights on the underside, one on the front of the aircraft and 2 in the aft on the wingtips. The aircraft was flying at what looked like 100 miles per hour (160.9 kilometers per hour) to 150 miles per hour (241.4 kilometers per hour) The plane body itself was black. It looked like it was heading towards Scott Air Force Base. The plane was about 100 feet long (front to rear) and 50 to 70 feet wide. (Wing-tip to wing-tip) The planes were levelled off at what looked like 1200 feet after I first saw them. They left a white trail that slowly expanded over time.

I went to my car in the parking lot at the local school that sits at a higher elevation than the surrounding area. I had to retrieve items I had forgotten to get as election judge that day. The sun was low on the horizon & the sky above was very dark. As I looked towards the East I saw a disk that was stationary in the sky with red, blue and green flashing lights, not wavering or making a sound. I estimate it was 400 ft. above ground. I watched as long as I had time thinking it was a helicopter but, this looked like nothing like that for it had a reflective surface. Very unusual experience.

As the wife and I were traveling down Hwy 61/67 south, I noticed a bright white light off to the east well above the tree line. I pointed it out to my wife who exclaimed that the light was brighter than any star shed ever seen and joked that it was a "meteor". It had no other lights and had actually sat perfectly still for about 90 seconds before it just disappeared from sight by accelerating upward so fast there was only a quick white streak of light that we both could see .

It was about 7:15pm Wed Oct 18th. I picked my daughter up from work and we were headed back to our house. Our neighborhood is in a pretty populated area of town. Our street is dark though, it's a small road leading into our neighborhood and it sits up high on a hill overlooking the rest of the town. I turned left into the subdivision we can see down a large hill and lots of sky. It is a great spot, very open and expansive. The reason I explain all of this is to show that I have a great view of alot of sky at this vantage point. It was very dark at this time, no moon there is airplane and helicopter traffic out in the distance, that is normal so I didn't at first think to much of it. But what caught my eye that made me stop in the middle of the street was two round very super bright lights in the sky to my left. They were just sitting there at a strange angle. Not a normal angle though, not a star or plane, they two were completely stationary. My daughter is 17, I said don't those lights look super odd. She agreed and added that it almost looked like there was a circle around them. I am now kicking myself for not grabbing my phone, we both were almost frozen looking at these lights. I scanned the sky nothing was moving around it. Then all of a sudden the best way I can describe this is the two anglular lights moved away from us. Like they slowly disappeared into the sky. As to explain like it took off slowly but was enveloped by the sky. It did not go left or right or at any angle but forward into the dark. I hope I have described what I saw well. Was it quick? but felt like an eternity. We both were screaming how it was disappearing. Then it was gone. We sat there for another minute and I looked all over the sky, but didn't see anything else. I will never forget it! Thank you for letting me share. Also the circle part I referred too was very very light could not make out that well.
