Light over Boise, ID
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I looked out a south facing window to see if anything odd was in the sky. I didn't see anything up there but I did see a weird light close to the ground,like I have been seeing for a while. This was one bright white light moving around in an empty lot close to our house, it made no sound, but moved like someone walking around holding a flashlight. It had a bouncy movement, and there was no sound at all, and no sound from the dry grass and weeds in the lot like the sound someone walking around would make. Also there was no visible being of any kind with the light. The light was a single beam about 4 or 5 inches in diameter. I went to our north facing bedroom window to see if anything was on that side of the house, and there was what looked like a pair of lights moving together hovering about 5" above our streetabout 30 feet away. At first I thought they were a reflection from a porch light, but they were moving very slowly from the west end of our street toward the east. This is the third time I have seen the lights on this side of the house, they make no sound at all and whatever this is, it is totally invisible except for the light, which can be dim or bright, and are sometimes an orange or white beam. I watched them for about 20 minutes, they would move very slowly back and forth along our street, but only in the dark areas, never near a porch light, and we have no street lights on our street. They kept stopping in front of our nextdoor neighbors house west of us, p.o he never has a light on at night so I just watched them for a while. They kept going over a small area around his front yard and driveway. These lights are probably the same ones I saw a couple of weeks ago going over another neighbors trash can, and also moving around two different neighbors cars. Feels like we are being studied by our Star Ancestors.

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.

Went outside to watch a lightning storm go by. I saw a red star shaped object travel out of a lightning filled storm cell into clear skies for 5 seconds and then it went into another cell. Seconds later another red object followed in the same direction. Traveling south to north.

V shaped formation moving south to north, low altitude, silver/whitish look to the craft. When passing over head everything went silent. Have a water pump that is running near by and then as they passed over it was like a cone of silence passed over us as well. Witnessed clearly by myself and my wife. This is the second time we have seen a similar formation and the same “silent” effect as it passed overhead.

The moon was bright despite being a half moon. The night was calm and there weren’t many clouds. It was a great night for star gazing. At first I thought it was a satellite but then noticed other lights as it came into view. It went almost directly overhead which is how I could see the v shape but again no sound. The night was strangely quiet. Lights were white and all appeared to be part of the same craft.

A couple hundred feet above my house a bright neon green light or maybe fireball appeared and darted about another 200 feet then vanished.

At sunset, I immediately noticed that a small glob of clouds had gathered. (Cirrus). Less than a minute later, they are cube shaped small craft loosely locking amid each other's gravitational field or training indicative of terrestrial military. Loosely resembling a 3 1 3 Tetris shape. Then every few seconds it stretched and the cubes multiplied until 43 total craft that made up the body of the larger craft. It began to accelerate, no com trail or visual exhaust plume. It had the movement of a train and was a wonderful blue hue. Hence the name polar express. After it's departure we had at least 100 separate smaller sightings, they were closer...some passed over head no more than 20 feet above us. Black glibe "searchers", wibbly wobbly drunk e.t craft. There were at least 25 of these, with 1 being more innovative and "serious" looking and acting in it's movement. Light shows, full horizon color change, spot lights and even collision. But no noise, or wing was ever attributed to these craft.

I saw this on my security monitor and took the 3 pictures. I'd like to know what it is cause it's not the moon.
