Formation over Davie (heading to Hollywood/Ft. Lauderdale), FL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
While driving on 595 from West to East, just passing the turnpike ramp; I saw what I thought was a bright star. Only it didn't "twinkle" but it did have that star effect that emitted rays in a "T". I refocused by sight to make sure if what I was seeing, but to me at the time & I suppose my mind was trying to reason with what I was seeing, I saw the top portion of the object. Seemed like a plane, since it had those red & green lights on the ends, but it then I start noticing that it also had light on top, that changed colors in a pulse of blue, green, red, purple. At this same time, the bright white light started to dim. I had to get my eyes back on the highway for a bit then I searched for it again but I couldn't find it again. I scanned the area in the sky where I spotted it. I found it once more, only the light wasn't as bright & it didn't have that "T" of light rays. & since the light wasn't as bright, I could start making out the color of the object & more or less the shape. It was a dark white/light gray in what seemed like a mini blimp or maybe it could have been blimp sized but really far. The final feature before it left was the "opening", as if the object open & closed like Pac-Man & the light was inside Pac-Man's mouth. It did this only twice & it was gone, it was stationary the entire time. I couldn't find it again but I did search for it for about 30 mins

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.
