A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Duration: 45 min-1 hr Glanced out bedroom window and saw (what I assumed it was flickering overly bright star), moving slightly with a very close proximity of its original position. It continued to hover in the same location for 10 min or so. It then moved drastically to the right, then straight up. The object disappeared a couple times the reappeared. Movement was not of a airplane/ helicopter. After 35-40 minutes, it flew toward my direction at a lower altitude. I saw 3 lights at that point lined up in a row the white being the largest on far left side, middle light slightly smaller & less bright a light translucent baby blue, a light pinkish red light the same size as the blue one. Object flew over my house to the other side. It hovered over a field next to Hwy. 228. Then it came back to the original side and repeated the same movement.

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.

At 4:16AM in the morning of October 29th, 2023, I decided to take photos of the full moon + clouds. I took the photos and noticed, what appeared to be a star to me, a singular, bright light, maintaining one spot for over 5 minutes. I went inside to show the photos to my family, talked for about 5-7 minutes then brought my nephew outside to see the moon/clouds. I pointed out the “star” to my nephew, and not soon after, we both notice it quickly drop down from the sky, at least 200 feet, then go straight back up, above the clouds. I looked at my photos and noticed the object was hanging directly below cloud cover, right on the edge of the cloud. I know it wasn’t a plane, it maintained the same space for an extended period of time and the speed it accelerated to as it dropped would be unmaintainable for an aircraft (possible a missile could maneuver like this, but it couldn’t sit stationary). The object was in the western sky, situated to the bottom left of the moon.

We were driving down Pinefield Rd going towards Christ Church Rd. We saw what we thought was a bright star or planet. We have seen it before. Tonight it appeared to be moving. The closer we got to the end of the road, it appeared to have "stem" like things coming from the center.

object appeared to be still, roughly 50 feet above our home, displaying 5 white lights; no noise; no aircraft near our home. No ambient lighting to cause this. We have a photo of the incident.

On October 12, 2014, I was up late at night sitting on my steps in front of my house. I witnessed a small object with lights all around it hovering over my neighborhood. Initially I thought it was a plane, however the aircraft was moving too slowly to be an airplane. I then noticed the object coming closer to the ground. I immediately became frightened because I was the only one outside in my neighborhood because how late it was. I went inside the house and heard the dog barking across the street and it would not stop barking. I then got scared that maybe the object saw me so I turned off my lights in my room and went under the blanket. Thirty minutes later I was touched one time and became dizzy and saw lights shining in my eyes through my blanket. I believe the extraterrestrial is invisible to the human eye but not invisible in general. I was so scared I didnt move hoping it would leave. I then went into a sleep still feeling dizzy. I believe the ext! raterrestrial was touching me making me feel dizzy in hopes I would forget however when I woke up I still remembered everything that happened. Unfortunately the extraterrestrial has been coming every night for the last few nights doing the same activity. Shining a light in my eyes, touched me one time and shocked me, and making me dizzy. I am not sure what the extraterrestrial wants or why. I believe it wants me to forget the situation however it frightens me so much its impossible to forget. On the last encounter the extraterrestrial dropped something in my ear. I am reporting this to every internet site or agency I can in hopes the extraterrestrial(s) leave me and my family alone.

I was sitting in my truck at my son's football practice talking on the phone and noticed a ball of light in the sky. I thought it was a star until it zipped away really fast. It was like it was hovering and then it moved a little, stopped and then zoomed off. It was really really fast when it moved. Too fast for anything man made i think. It was a bright light. If I didnt see it move i would probably never had noticed it cause it definatly looked like a star in the sky.
