Flash over Lauderhill, FL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
((ADDENDUM FROM WITHESS)) Hi Peter, My villas backyard faces east and my clear field of vision from south to north. I would guess is if looking up 3 to 4 miles. I was entering the backyard when I saw the flash. It appeared in a straight line, no definable shape, but a massive light component to the north part of the flash. It appeared to be a few hundred feet above and beyond a picture I am enclosing of my back neighbors roofline. The width of the light was the width of theIr roofline. It may have been miles away but hated to give a perspective on the distance. The tail followed the entire distance of .my Vista south to north. Pic attached. Took the pics this morning. Did anyone else see this? This was not lightning. ((END ADDENDUM)) We spoke via telephone with the witness, and she sounded to us to be very sober-minded. We suspect that she is a highly reliable witness. PD

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.

Entered from my left side sort of moving like a fish swimming, then began making erratic movements and then came to a complete stop... like it froze in place, sat there for approximately 5 to 7 seconds before speedily moving quickly to the North over a telephone pole and behind the trees in the distance.

Driving west on commercial Blvd near the turnpike saw 3 bright lights appear to be hovering or moving very slow. As I approached I used wires and tree like to indicate the movement as I was stopped. Proceeding forward the appeared overhead a couple thousand feet. Looking up they appears almost lie helicopters in a very tight formation. But I could tell that they moved together perfectly so helicopters are not like that. The was a lead light and one on each side but very close to each other moving very slow east. The lights didn't flash or blink at all
