The report, as filed
We were just sitting and hanging out. We had sneaked out that night and our parents didn't know about it. We were just hanging out having a good time when suddenly we all couldn't move. I could only move my eyes. I looked around and everyone was completely still with their eyes moving from side to side. Out of nowhere came a loud shrill sound from no where. Our immobile mouths only made shrill cries from our throats. It wouldn't stop. When it finally did and we could move again it was all still. Then out of nowhere a large spot of light appeared in the sky. It appeared almost like the sky was a rag soaking up the liquid-is state of the ship. It shared no certain shape but it was so bright it burnt my eyes almost like staring at the sun, and that's all we could do was stare in ah (sic. awe). Eventually a loud boom expelled from the light and then another and then another and we all scrambled for our cars. The light followed us as we ran and even followed us till we were! suddenly all about 60 miles outside the city limits. I was dropped off at home by my partner who i had spent the night with. When i woke up this morning I found an extremely large bruise on the complete center of my chest. My friends have also said they have also found large perfectly circular bruises on different parts of their body. I'm extremely shaken up and needed to tell someone about these events. We are not certain this is intended as a serious report. Source of report elects to remain totally anonymous, and provides no contact information. PD

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 leaving Aurora, Colorado, heading south on E470 towards I-25. It was around 12:20 am on September 16th, 2023, that I noticed something flying in the sky maybe less than 1000ft in the air. I’ve worked in both military and private aviation and noticed immediately how strange the lights were for the craft. It had very bright white lights that were doing a wave-strobe effect to it, looked like the white lights were rotating around the craft while strobing. It also had two bright reddish/orange lights on the top and bottom that were pulsating with intensity. When I first noticed it, it seemed to be passing my field of view quickly as I was driving, but then it stopped moving and stayed still. It then started moving slowly towards Buckley Air Force Base on the other side of E470. I tried to watch it longer, but I was also driving on the highway and nearly got into a crash because it was hard to not look at this thing. As I moved closer to I-25, it went closer to Buckley and then it left my field of vision. Because of the time of night and highway lights it was difficult to discern any real shape to it, but it did have a pale blue glow at the bottom of it.

We (a young married couple) saw two motionless bright lights in the sky on our way home from a friend’s house. Even though the lights didn’t move like a plane, they were not stars. They were much too bright to be stars. After a while one turned to the east and started flying in that direction. After it had turned, we could see that it had 1 red and 2 green lights on either side. In the meantime the other light had begun to ascend and descend in elevation in an up and down motion. Eventually the second light also suddenly veered off to the east and revealed the same light pattern as the first. [NUFORC annotation: Aircraft - Probable]

We were sitting on our balcony, saw an object at a slightly lower altitude inspecting the flight path last night where lt least 4 planes were approaching DIA. It was moving at what we both felt was a supersonic speed, a green light on its front, with forward propulsion, moving from SW to NW in a matter of possibly 2 seconds. IT MOVED SO FAST, yet it was silence. No sonicbomb, not exhaust, just extremely straight plane of motion. I saw it, as well as my husband.

As I was walking something caught my eye as I looked up and saw a airliner and above that I saw 4 images that were moving from the north to the southeast. It appeared the object were traveling very fast. I was able to capture a picture of them before I lost sight of them. The image is on the lower left. I zoomed in and attached a better look at the 4 objects.

While driving home I saw a line of 4-5 lights in the sky that appeared to be getting closer to me. As I was stopped at a red light, they appeared to be very close to the surface of the Earth. It felt like it was right in front of me, over my head. Eventually, I could see that it was a rectangular shaped craft of some sort. The lights were mostly white, I think. It looked like it was made of metal (silver in color) Clear windows lit up the inside. Almost like a hallway of offices. I think it had an additional section on the left side. Almost like the caboose of a train. Separate but, still attached by a smaller "hallway". I don't think that section was as lit up. The light turned green and I had cars behind me so, I started driving. I drive a large cargo van, so there are no windows to look out to see what is behind me. I regret not pulling over to see what happened after that.
