Light over Indian Shores, FL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
While taking my dog out during the late evening hours of the 29th of March, 2017, I witnessed a green/red light appearing side by side. The lights caught my eye due to the speed at which it was flying. Flight path was east to south west out and over the Gulf Of Mexico. The factor in which the UFO came to an abrupt stop, and then made a 90 degree flight movement to the south, and at a speed not commensurate with a jet or prop plane was the key factor in this report. Conditions that night were clear, no clouds, no heavy winds, nor rain/lightning. Moon phase was a waning crescent of 24 percent illumination.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #133380). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

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.

My husband and I were attending a wedding at a banquet hall on the beach. We stepped onto the outside deck to watch the twilight glow on the horizon. Directly on the beach (maybe a quarter mile north) we saw a bonfire. Something took over very near to it. I initially thought it was a flare gun because of the arc. But then it just kept going higher and higher. It sped up, and turned south, heading out perpendicular to the beach. My husband then thought it was a drone, but then it sped up way too quickly. We then guessed it was a helicopter, but it went eventually went way too high. It eventually faded out into the atmosphere. Absolutely no idea what it was , but we live immediately next to an AFB, and within the flight path of Tampa International. We've seen dozens of varieties of aircrafts, and this was different.
