The report, as filed
Time Seen: 8:01 PM End time: 8:03 PM (Approximate time) Facing North-East Location: Aurora, CO I was cleaning my new car up, and it was starting to get dark, so I went ahead and started to clean the windows. After throwing some garbage away in a bag, I placed on the sidewalk next to my vehicle, I looked up at the sky randomly for some odd reason facing North East. I watched three airplanes fly ahead. But there was a fourth one… The fourth one was glowing a golden hue and had a smaller orb of golden light flashing on the upper left side. This smaller orb of light looked to be detached from the object but followed it in sync. It was glowing and the golden lights were together in a curved disk shape at the bottom of the object. It was moving to the right quite slowly, then it stopped dead in its tracks. I sat there trying to calculate what I was seeing. Something was off about it. The other planes passing by had white and red flashing lights flying one direction, but this one stopped above the neighborhood above the tree line, lower in the level of the airplanes flying! past in the sky. I then said aloud, "Alright, I see you B--- and I'm not afraid. If you are paranormal prove it!." And it then moved to the left! The left side instead of the right! it commenced moving side to side as if it was proving its existence to me. I dropped everything that I was doing, ran inside to get my mom (She believes in UFO's and has seen some) I ran back out before she did and it was gone. That was how I lost sight of the UFO. I made a digital art of what the UFO looked like so you can have a better visual preference. Sorry if it's not the greatest, I tried hard to re-paint it from memory. https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a27d24_85333b0e7ff54a17b088d56b9b8beb35~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_927,h_433,al_c,q_80/file.jpg We spoke via telephone with the witness, and she seemed to us to be exceptionally eloquent and sober-minded. We suspect that she is exceptionally reliable as a witness. PD

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.

I was leaving Aurora, Colorado, heading south on E470 towards I-25. It was around 12:20 am on September 16th, 2023, that I noticed something flying in the sky maybe less than 1000ft in the air. I’ve worked in both military and private aviation and noticed immediately how strange the lights were for the craft. It had very bright white lights that were doing a wave-strobe effect to it, looked like the white lights were rotating around the craft while strobing. It also had two bright reddish/orange lights on the top and bottom that were pulsating with intensity. When I first noticed it, it seemed to be passing my field of view quickly as I was driving, but then it stopped moving and stayed still. It then started moving slowly towards Buckley Air Force Base on the other side of E470. I tried to watch it longer, but I was also driving on the highway and nearly got into a crash because it was hard to not look at this thing. As I moved closer to I-25, it went closer to Buckley and then it left my field of vision. Because of the time of night and highway lights it was difficult to discern any real shape to it, but it did have a pale blue glow at the bottom of it.

We (a young married couple) saw two motionless bright lights in the sky on our way home from a friend’s house. Even though the lights didn’t move like a plane, they were not stars. They were much too bright to be stars. After a while one turned to the east and started flying in that direction. After it had turned, we could see that it had 1 red and 2 green lights on either side. In the meantime the other light had begun to ascend and descend in elevation in an up and down motion. Eventually the second light also suddenly veered off to the east and revealed the same light pattern as the first. [NUFORC annotation: Aircraft - Probable]

We were sitting on our balcony, saw an object at a slightly lower altitude inspecting the flight path last night where lt least 4 planes were approaching DIA. It was moving at what we both felt was a supersonic speed, a green light on its front, with forward propulsion, moving from SW to NW in a matter of possibly 2 seconds. IT MOVED SO FAST, yet it was silence. No sonicbomb, not exhaust, just extremely straight plane of motion. I saw it, as well as my husband.

As I was walking something caught my eye as I looked up and saw a airliner and above that I saw 4 images that were moving from the north to the southeast. It appeared the object were traveling very fast. I was able to capture a picture of them before I lost sight of them. The image is on the lower left. I zoomed in and attached a better look at the 4 objects.

While driving home I saw a line of 4-5 lights in the sky that appeared to be getting closer to me. As I was stopped at a red light, they appeared to be very close to the surface of the Earth. It felt like it was right in front of me, over my head. Eventually, I could see that it was a rectangular shaped craft of some sort. The lights were mostly white, I think. It looked like it was made of metal (silver in color) Clear windows lit up the inside. Almost like a hallway of offices. I think it had an additional section on the left side. Almost like the caboose of a train. Separate but, still attached by a smaller "hallway". I don't think that section was as lit up. The light turned green and I had cars behind me so, I started driving. I drive a large cargo van, so there are no windows to look out to see what is behind me. I regret not pulling over to see what happened after that.
