Chevron over Floral City, FL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was driving East on Highway 48 toward Bushnell, Florida. I saw something pyramid shaped in the sky directly in front of me. It was very shiny & was reflecting the sun. I can't be sure whether or not it was emitting any light because I assumed the sun's reflection was what made it look so bright. It looked like it was made out of shiny sheet metal. It wasn't moving at all. I told my 5 year old son to look up at the sky but by the time I pointed to it, it was gone. He did not see it & I continued to look for it for a few minutes but could not find it again. I've never seen anything like this before & what really amazed me was that it didn't fly away quickly, it just disappeared completely.

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.

I flashed my bright flashlight well, on the pulse setting. Stopped it...a few seconds passed. A strange bright light moved toward earth then looped back as a needle and thread stitch ... no clouds or storms that night. I thanked the universe, and walked briskly back to the house! 🤷🏻♀️ Source of report indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD
