Light over Boca Raton, FL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
This past Saturday night around 10:30PM, my wife and I were on our porch and noticed some odd lights on the horizon. We saw a total of about 10 over about a 20 minute time span. They rose up from the horizon to the NE in groups of 3 or 4, perhaps around the Delray Beach area. They slowly traveled South rising upward along the coast and disappeared into the low cloud cover just about due East of our house. They flew quite close together and were too bright to be drones. They didn't have flashing lights like standard aircraft, but more of a steady orange glow. They may have been far enough away to be over the ocean, but that still doesn't explain what manner of craft they were. Planes don't take off and group like that and I don't know of an airport North of the Boca Raton one nearer than the somewhat distant Palm Beach International. If anyone else saw them or has an idea of what they might be, I'd love to hear about it. Here is a photo of a group of 4 facing East NE with the rightmost one about to disappear into the clouds.

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.

Driving east toward n dixie I saw an almost stationary large gray windowless plane with no visible engines or propellers almost stationary and low altitude. I photographed it on my iPhone through my car window but in the photo the plane is missing. I tried a second time and the second photo also captures the sky where I saw the plane but it is not visible. I lost sight of the plane while passing a building and then it was gone. I consider myself a skeptic. But I saw an object that I cannot explain.

The only way to describe this is a very small white cloud, a space, another cloud but softly lit up and moving in unison across the sky approximately 100 feet in the air, at low speeds. The first cloud seemed like a shield to cover the second. I saw it from the side so saw both units. No sound. Lost behind buildings, heading towards the Atlantic Ocean just half a mile away. Very odd.
