The report, as filed

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.

Something was spotted looking through the window I went outside to my backyard and recorded a flash of light that captured a unknown entity in the video.

3 crafts one bluish and fairly stationary the second one looked green and yellow with wire like appendages floating around the craft. The 3rd was black with red lights looked transparent as if I could see the operator tall white long legs. This craft came down my street silent and slow turned above my Nieghbors house to the right hesitated and slowly moved off towards the north gradually gaining altitude. No sound at all the size of a small bus that came to a point also with wire like appendages flowing around.This went on for well over an hour. I have pictures that look like it’s small and far away but these were flying just above the roof tops. I didn’t think to video it. It was a clear cold night and these were not drones or helicopters, they emitted no sound at all. These were brightly lit , I believe that the one that looked transparent had an operator in a seated position moving arms around controlling the aircraft. This is a true statement I was not drinking or under the influence of anything. I am 60 years old and never seen anything like this in my life.

I was on the beach walking my dog. The night sky was as clear as I have ever seen it. It was so clear that I do not remember the last time I have seen this many stars in the sky. As I was staring up at the sky, I witnessed a small spherical object, the same brightness and distance as the stars, glide slowly across the sky until it disappeared. I thought I was seeing things, so I continued to stare up at the sky. Roughly 5 minutes later I witnessed the same thing happened again. I thought it could have been aircraft, but there were no flashing lights and these objects appeared to be deep into space and roughly the same size as the smaller stars. The second of the two objects that I saw had a periodic glare of bright light emitting from it, almost like the reflection of something off a rotating object. I have witnessed meteor showers before, but this was nothing like it. These appeared to move slowly across the sky, but were moving very fast in relation to the position of the stars.

On both 9/28/2017 and 9/28/2017, in the hours after midnight, I saw an object hovering over the sea, roughly 120 degrees east-southeast. Naked eye observation alone indicated a blinking star-like object that was somewhat bluer than the other stars. Upon examination via binoculars, I could make out flashing blue and green lights. The object did not move. It neither grew larger nor smaller, nor did it change direction. As the sun began to rise the object disappeared with the rest of the stars in the sky.

At first, my (5 yo) son thought there was a shooting star. We looked up and we saw a formation of lights shooting across the sky. There were 10-12 bright lights moving within an oval shape across the sky. It was moving in the direction of the beach.

Revere Beach Daytime Sighting of an Unidentified Flying Object 7/18/17 On Tuesday, July 18th at 4pm, 3 adults sunning themselves on Revere Beach, MA, observed a metallic fuselage shaped (cigar) object in the sky. It looked similar to a typical airplane at that distant, but the front 1/3 section seemed to be independent of the remaining 2/3 behind it. It was too far away to discern any sound from it. It was too far away to discern any sound from it and the sky is always busy with airplane from nearby Logan airport. The object caught our attention due to its unusual shape and flight path. We discussed it together while it flew above us. Its flight pattern was toward Logan Airport, yet instead of descending toward Boston, it ascended up into the clouds above, until we could no longer view it. The sighting lasted about 30 seconds. Its speed was consistent to that of a normal plane but it had no wings or tail leading us to believe it was not a normal object we had ever seen. I took some photos using my iPhone 5c, which did capture the object but they are a bit fuzzy. I will attach them with this report.
