A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Now just a few minutes ago my spouse and I saw a very strange (what he considers to be a drone)and huge black winged creature now this had to be more like 40+ feet wing span very thick wings, very thick body- but like an airplane body... this first creatur! e was thin, almost transparent and clearly had a human like body attached a head, legs, and arms with claw like hands like 3 fingers and a thumb... well this object we just saw was huge, flying south and veered off to the east. we grabbed the binoculars and followed it but lost sight of it. The other creature was flying from the northwest to the southeast.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #136217). 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.

Two circular objects in the sky lit up, left trails and faded in and out. One hovered for several seconds. They were moving out of sync with each other, but seemed to be interacting. They moved irregularly, zigzagging and hovering. The trails were also irregular, not consistently being given off. There were about 5 witnesses in my party.

I was trying to keep track on them with the nvg goggles heading east to west within one minute. The flying objects were side-by-side to each other doing different types of formations. At one point I noticed that the flying objects were in a square form shape and breaking up from each other and going back to each other very fast. I tried to see them without the nvg goggles and I was unable to locate them with my eyes. I use the nvg goggles again and saw them again disappear further and further away from me heading west.
