Sphere over Holly Hill, FL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
At first I didn't think much of it as we are near the flight path of the Daytona International Airport. However these lights were brighter and they did not blink like planes do when they are flying. I paid more attention to these bright orbs and they were moving from west to east at a steady speed when the first group of 5 suddenly disappeared. The next group of 3-4 did exactly the same and disappeared in the same spot. Two more groups of 3 or 4 followed that pattern. I couldn't tell if they made a sound as there is a lot of noise from traffic etc in this area. Note: I have seen Chinese lanterns and these were not moving in the same way or at the same speed. Also there was very little wind at ground level. The first group of 5 were positioned with one in each corner and the last one in the center and they maintained these place locations until they disappeared. I tried to video tape this event but did not catch them through the screen and due to their speed, did not want to miss them by taking time to get outside.

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.
