Circle over Indialantic, FL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was walking my dog when I saw a reddish orange ball rising above the trees. At first I thought it might be a rocket launch, but it didn't have a trail, and it didn't fade out of sight like launches do. As it was rising another one appeared and the first one disappeared. Then the second one was gone. Then another appeared and within a moment another one, they rose together, but not as high as the others and then they were gone. I kept watching for more but there were no more. There was no sound and the intensity of their color varied from reddish orange to red and back again. As they rose they did so at different speeds. They were not in formation. We on the coast are accustomed to launches, I've seen many over the past 33 years. These objects were like none I have ever seen.

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.

Circular aircraft hovered over the beach at night very close to the ground about 100 ft away from my group of about 7 friends with a beam over the water for 2 minutes as if contemplating to abduct my friends and me. It left then came back, this time closer. It sat with the beam over the water then it went a way at a speed a plane is not capable of. I got a video as it flew away. All my friends say it was a plame but planes are not circular, planes do not have beams, and planes fly high in the air. Also airplanes have places to go, they dp not stop. Leave then come back and sit in mid-air. I've always kind of believed in aliens but now i know for sure

Bright green and red light with a flashing white light rose very quickly from the tree-line to an estimated 300 feet, stopped, swerved back and forth quickly, then ascended rapidly again (maybe 100 more feet) before rapidly descending back below the tree-line. May have been a toy helicopter/drone, but the lights were very bright if it was one and it moved very quickly and went very high for a toy. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he sounded to us to be quite sincere about his sighting. PD

We were sitting on our 5th floor patio-looking at the ocean, when the first object appeared travelling from south to north--offshore-yet following the shoreline. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and we found him to be a credible witness. At last contact, he reported that a person had informed him that the objects were "Chinese" lanterns, and that he was going to go with that explanation. We suspect that the objects were not lanterns, but we cannot prove it. Please see other reports from Florida for this date. PD
