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 saw something bright flying higher than the normal planes. I watched for a second and it moved different than a plane too. Smoothly glided across the sky leaving no trails or sounds. I grabbed my phone and zoomed in to try and get a better look.

Object was very, very small – all I could see were the flashing lights. I’m not sure how big it was as I don’t know exactly how high it was, only that it was lower than 11,000 feet. When it got to the end of the cloud bank, it went vertical (the lights changed aspect and began to dim), then it came back down (another aspect change in the lights and became brighter) and then went back the same way it came (toward the east)… The whole incident lasted about 30-40 seconds.

Very large white circular object hovering in place above Ft Pierce at an altitude of probably 50,000 feet. The object was very easy to spot as the day was very clear and it was at a 12 o’clock position in the sky; eventually the object moved very slowly towards the west and it seemed to go into a higher altitude until it disappeared.

I saw a round bright bright green light fall from the sky straight to the ground faster than I've ever seen anything fly. Like it was landing, but faster than I thought a landing could be psosible. It only lasted one to two seconds.

I walked out my front door and looked up into the sky around 10:30PM. There were 3 small red flaming objects moving toward the northwest flying over my house. They were all moving together but did not appear to be a single object. I opened the door and told my wife to come and see the objects. She came out the door and saw two of them and a fourth one that came flying in the same direction following the other 3. Neither my wife nor I heard any plane or motor sound as they passed overhead. They appeared to be very low in the sky like they were flying about twice as high as the nearby tree tops. As they moved off in the distance, They did not fade away as expected, but one by one just disappeared as if they were being turned off.

I was driving US 1 north in from port saint lucie to ft pierce 4 am(ish)... as I was getting close to the intersection of us 1 and midway rd I saw a bright orange (like a flame) circular thing in the sky. I thought it was the moon going in and out of the clouds and thought it was awfully orange then I realized it was moving east on a slight incline (heading over the ocean) the burning going in and out (don't know if it was because of the clouds I pulled over to get pic it was moving faster than I apparently thought.. I got 2 pics its only visible in the corner of one… I have no idea what it was but it was a beautiful bright burning orange
