A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My boyfriend & I were driving down Sunset Ave. I saw as an object omitting white light was coming down like a shooting star. I quickly realized that's not what a star looks like. It stopped for about 3 seconds and that's when I saw the object was round & a green light flashed from the side of it. It then quickly went east disappearing into the sky.

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.

Me and my fiancé have been seeing this object in the sky for two days in a row. It looks HUGE and has other small circle object flying over it sometimes. Sometimes it spins with flashing light and the small flying objects come and go back in through where the lights are coming from. It is also trying to really hide above the cloud. The video I’ll be submitting will explain more. Something about this just doesn’t sit right with us. I hope we will never be invaded by extraterrestrial living beings.

*I need to mention that it was a little cloudy outside and we could only see the lights through the clouds. The lights became completely invisible as they moved outside of the clouds perimeter (into the open sky where it should be more visible).* I was sitting on my balcony and looking at the dark sky and suddenly a light started to appear behind the cloud and continued to get brighter. A second light appeared on its left side shortly after and the two lights seemed like they were connected by a slightly less visible beam of light. The two lights later flew towards the left side and disappeared. I have two videos to attach and would be more than happy to explain in more detail if you are interested.

I was walking out side of my work after closing at 3am and I noticed a long rectangular shape illuminating around the edges of it which lighted up the clouds surrounding it, I took multiple photos and have several videos. Driving further down the street about 3 min or so I could still see the craft in the distance so I stopped and took 2 more pictures which it appeared in photos but 3 balls of light about it and the very next photo I counted 7 balls of light above it.

We heard this loud sound like bass from a car going by and it was pulsing, like a deep rumble and a beat, and simultaneously, I heard helicopters flying overhead, about 3-4. I ran outside and saw two helicopters, with their lights on, (trailing behind), and one flying dark, from what I could make out against the clouds (with the lights off). It was cloudy which refracted the light back and this helicopter was flying "dark" but could be seen against the clouds... It was clearly chasing something. I am right outside class "B" airspace to the southwest, and there was no aircraft in the area (which Is very strange to say the least) for this time of night (I am in the flight path). The noise was unlike any other I have ever heard. I am a private pilot, and I have been at O'hare when the Osprey land, and Marine 1 lands as well as Air Force 1... It was reminiscent of that but the noise, it was a deep rumble/hum that I could feel in my feet on my hardwood floor. The bass, it was not the chop of rotors, it was a hum for two seconds, and then a higher pitched hum, perhaps two octaves above. Then it was followed closely with Black Hawk chop of the rotors… Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.
