Changing over Louisville, KY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I noticed two small objects at a very high altitude, slightly east of where I was standing in Louisville, KY. I was facing northeast and looking directly up while recording video on my iphone. When the objects began moving closer overhead, they gained altitude. I ran in to get my phone and recorded for a couple minutes, then I got binoculars and watched them remain overhead for about an additional 6-7 minutes. Viewing with the naked eye they appear to twinkle very brightly, as though someone were reflecting the sun with a mirror; much brighter than the reflection off an airplane, and not like a flashing light but more of a shaky erratic effect and far brighter. Through the binoculars they were very different. They didn't appear to be reflecting light, they were just a bright citrusy yellow, like a tennis ball. They were spherical with no wings. The reason they appeared to twinkle is because they each seemed to be made of two spheres attached to each other, but rolling around each other in a rapid undulating and random orbit with no space in between the two parts. This effect caused them to look elongated for short moments as the two spheres that made the individual objects were sometimes next to each other instead one on top of the other. I tried to search for other reports of similar objects, but most were at night. Some web sites talked about plasma orbs but I am not sure because the color was consistent. Whatever they were, they seemed to be intelligently driven, because they stayed together and once they were overhead they didn't leave, as though they were looking back! (no voice to skull technology or other communication used on me, sorry) This is not the first time (I assume by the naked eye view) I have seen one of these. A few months ago, also during bright daylight, I saw one while walking into a gas station. I watched it for 3-4 minutes, twinkling brightly but not moving at all, until a cloud covered it. The two on the recent occasion disappeared behind chemtrails that were drifting. A cold front had just moved through and we had surprisingly clear skies (still have today). The chemtrails have been very heavy here for months, lessening on most weekends. I also captured an excellent shot of a sun halo, which I have seen many times in the last couple months. If you have any information or insight, please respond. If I'm going to keep seeing these things I'd like to understand their nature better.

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 saw a very distant blinking light, it was white, and i thought it was a plane because planes pass all the time but it was moving really weird. it was dancing around and zipping too fast to be a plane so i asked my roommate if she saw it too, and we watched it for a while. we saw other flashing lights but this one kept coming back, it zipped around for a while before passing directly over our building and out of sight. as it got closer the color got orangey, but white at the same time almost. it was close enough to where we could see the lights clearly but they just looked like lights, no craft.

We were sitting on our porch talking. My fiancé said, do you see that bright light in the sky. I said yes, and I looked at it. We were trying to figure out why it was not moving. It was just bright, and stationary. it was very low in the sky, But too high to be a structure. Too big to be a drone. Suddenly, the light disappeared. [NUFORC annotation: Aircraft - Possible]

Lots of lights flying in a row. Like a large space ship. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Probable]

Couple mo ago, looked up on back porch, saw small bright light in northern sky. Did not pay attention because near airport, looked up again few min later, still there. Looked like miles away, no movement, no sound. Took pic, trying to do video when shot east over trees faster than anything man made. It Looked far away but when blown up, is blocking out elec wires on property line, maybe 25ft away and can see boomerang shape. 2nd pic taken by friends family 3 wks ago in parking lot approx 5 miles away. Both late dusk. His pic of ?? Same shape as I saw but different size, his “ more mature”. Don’t have details of his sighting, except they were freaked out. As a flight RN I’m familiar with flying things, but not these.

Witness was at his son's house and the UFO was over Bowman Field. The UAP was described as a 'tumbling' cube. His sighting lasted about 10 seconds as the UAP flew upwards and northeast and out of sight.
