Cigar over San Antonio, FL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
At approximately 7:15pm EST on January 22th, 2017, San Antonio, Fl. I looked out my front window at the oncoming storm and saw a strange object come out of the darkness above and travel directly across the sky extremely fast and disappear into the darkness (like a portal opened and closed on both ends of its journey). This wasn't falling from the sky and wasn't on fire nor did it have a tail like a meteor typically would. I don’t think it was a shooting star or lightning. The object was a thin cigar shape and a bright white or a silver white glowing light and moved in a seemingly straight horizontal path. It happened so quickly I did not have a chance to photograph it. Because of the fast speed it traveled I don’t believe it was a plane, I have no idea what it was and wondered if anyone else saw it.

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.

We were at the Halloween horror theme park, Scream-a-geddon, waiting in line for the hayride. I looked up into the trees, and saw two “airplanes” flying close to each other, side by side. It was an odd way to be flying so close, so I took notice. I told my husband to look how close they were, and as he watched, they moved from. Ext to each other to over top of each other. They were silent, and not helicopters. As me and my husband watched, trying to figure them out, we noticed the lighting was way different than airplanes. It wasn’t blinking, it was flashing consstantky, with colors. Like red, yellow, white, red, yellow, white... in a cir Jose formation, not a blinking red light, like a plane. They slowed down once they moved in the vertical formation, and disappeared behind the trees. I can’t stop thinking about them, they were silent, ave

At 23:11 couldn't sleep, feeling antsy so I thought I would open blinds to let moonlight in. In the southeastern sky was a triangular shaped object with brilliant blue lights. The lights would change from blue, to red to blue and red. It was a very cloudy night and I wanted to go outside, but I was afraid it would disappear. I tried to telepathically communicate with it, but it cloaked itself and I could still see dark gray edges. It had not left, but I turned to look at the clock, and when I looked back it was gone. 23:19.
