Circle over Indian Rock Beach, FL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Got up at 03:30 on 06/12/16 and it was back and still there when I went to bed. Looked like a stationary spot light I would guess 100 yards above the water and a couple of miles off shore. We suspect that the witness may have been looking at a celestial body, possibly a star. PD
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #127846). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
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.
