A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
A strong single bright white anomaly, out shining the surrounding porch and shop lights, hovered anywhere from 20 ft above the tree line, and what seemed to be around a quarter mile away. From where it was placed the object hovered and slowly swayed from side to side not moving in any certain direction. It didn't make a single noise. The trees and small bushes it was near didn't seem to cast any sign of shadows. Cars passed by and it seemed to almost look or follow their direction of travel. Before leaving to travel towards the object, it faded to a deep red colored upside down "L," then vanished to nothing. The nights sky was quickly filled with the moons glow and strange cloud formations like layered disks appeared above where it once sat. It didn't give off any emotions such as fear or excitement, but only the curiosity of what it actually was.

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.

While in bed I noticed a strange light just above the other homes rooftops in the neighborhood. It then split into 2 separate lights (amber in color). My wife and I were facing south as we watched, and they were headed north. The first ball maintained a constant direction and speed, while the other flight seemed more sporadic before matching the speed of the first. We opened the window thinking they were helicopters but no sound was emited. We watched them until they were over our roof. Next we ran downstairs to the front of the house to continue watching. We located the light immediately, still heading from south to north. The second light faded out as the original one continued on its path. Then a smaller light shot straight down and stopped just below the first light making a streak that faded quickly. In a clockwise motion the small ball rotated 90⁰ to the same level as the original and then shot back into the original ball. It continued to move north never changing in elevation or speed as it disappeared through the clouds. Camera footage was terrible when facing north due to bright house lights and streetlights. I am former military and have seen and been in military aircraft in combat and training, this is like nothing I've seen.
