Light over New Tampa, FL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
At approximately 10 pm, me, my wife and nephew were swimming in our pool. I looked west, northwest and saw a very bright orangish light moving at a very fast speed from north to south. I told my wife and nephew to look and they both saw it. It was traveling much faster than a plane. It almost had the appearance of a shooting star but was on plane, did not have a tail and was a solid light. It was not a firework and we heard no noise. We were all shocked and surprised what we saw and cannot explain it
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #134907). 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.

Sitting out back. Noticed one amber light coming above the treeline, then noticed two amber lights coming above the treeline they were almost lying in a pattern there a squadron would however once they got to approximately 45 degrees in the air from our line of sight the light went off on each and every one of them at the same physical location in the sky you could actually still see them though they were a light brownish color almost an olive drab 0 sound they were extremely large I would say maybe I don't know a quarter of a mile above us and you literally could watch them the whole way and we have video we have pictures we just have no idea what we saw and then another stick if you will or squadron comes through so the total of about maybe 8 to 10 they came through for witnesses very interesting one of them actually went back the other direction so then what I mean we can we're still not back here we hear coyotes we hear crickets but we heard nothing when they went over and you could literally make out detail to an extent shape definitely so enjoy that guys
