Circle over Merritt Island (above), FL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
3 crafts hovering over Kennedy space center last night. It started with one bright light, very still, then all the sudden, it started hovering around. Soon after, two smaller, dimmer, craft appeared. The two smaller ones were hovering above and around the bigger one. It looked almost as if they were playing with each other. The two smaller ones were there for only a few minutes and they just disappeared. The bigger one got super bright after the smaller ones disappeared. It almost looked like it was coming toward us. It then started getting dimmer until it completely disappeared. Source of the report elects to remain anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #134768). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
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.
