The report, as filed
Suddenly, it shot straight up, hovered, then descended back to where I had first seen it. I got up from my chair and rushed to the railing as it zipped across the sky to the east, where it then flew around in a tight circle maybe seven or eight times. It then shot clear across the sky towards the west...far enough I had to change positions on my deck to continue watching it. Quickly, but not as fast as it had just moved, it then flew back to the east and north. At this point, it was so distant and with the bright Moon, I could barely detect it. I sat back down hoping it might reappear. A minute or so went by, when it reappeared back in the area where it flew in circles before. It was doing this again, when it suddenly flew back towards the west and stopped roughly where I had first seen it. Just as quickly, it made what appeared to be a tight angular change (this is when I saw another red light and a blue light). At this point, it flew back to the east and out of my line of sight. As I sat hoping it would reappear again, I noticed a plane in the southwest. The speed seemed so much slower and I realized another thing. The plane made noise. This object seemed to be silent.

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.

Approximately 7:45am I was in my yard with my husband and son. My husband noticed an airplane flying near our home and followed by the airplane were 5 black circle shaped crafts that seemed to be floating through the sky together. They were moving at the same pace and traveling in the same direction slightly turning and disappearing into the clouds. It was a very cloudy sky. They made no noise and seemed to move slower than an airplane’s speed.

I was taking the trash out and turned around towards my house and saw 20+ bright lights cross the sky to the West below the moon. Most were in a straight line one behind the other. However several were beside one another. They were moving very fast and once they were to my left they were suddenly gone. I could tell they were not planes of any sort because they didn't flash and were too close together. I tried to take a video with my cell phone but onlt got a picture of on of the lights.

I was heading east on Highway 50 in Clermont, Florida for work this morning, 1/29/2019 at 5:35 AM., Saw a pair of bright lights headed east at around 500’, moving at a speed of about 200 miles/hour. The lights were not flashing, and one was immediately above the other either on a single structure or in very tight formation. Their relative position to one another did not deviate, and they did not turn. They drove directly eastward in a straight path into the clouds above Orlando. When it was overhead, I could not see a structure against the black night sky. I only saw the top light as bright orange, and the lower light as bright white. This structure/formation did not make any noise like a low flying jet on approach. As I proceeded east from Hwy 50 to the Florida Turnpike, I saw the flashing lights of approaching aircraft from normal planes. What I saw did not look like these.

Two very bright, reddish-orange balls with no glare and no sound were travelling together going east then a third came from the north at super speed and stopped on a dime beside them and then the three formed a triangle, spun around a few times and disappeared into the clouds!!
