Cross over Philadelphia, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I'm an Uber driver, so I spend a lot of later nights out. I was taking a break waiting for something to happen with work, and I was on the phone with my wife. I was leaned back in the seat looking up through the sunroof, a habit I developed because of an interest in the UFO subject, when I saw something in the sky. I told my wife, and she said to get off the phone and try to record it. I got out of my car and looked up and saw a craft, shaped like a letter t, or a cross. The best way I can describe it is, the horizontal line of the cross was very close to the top, almost like an uppercase T. It was illuminated, but not like, from lights, like the craft it self was emitting the light. And it was silent, like ZERO SOUND. By the time I took all of this in, I realized I was still holding my phone and was able to snap a few quick pictures. It all took less than a minute. I'm not good with guessing the height of something in the air, but it wasn't very high up, ma! ybe helicopter height. Like a few hundred to a thousand feet up. It was moving very fast, I was facing north,it was traveling from West to East, and again completely silently. I know what a plane, helicopter,and drones sound like and this wasn't any of those. I'm positive because while I was still looking up, hoping it would turn around, and I could get some video, a helicopter sped by very loudly in the same direction. I'm almost certain it was chasing the craft. I went that same night on Reddit to post any the experience, and see if anyone else has seen it. I got a response from a guy who said he was on I95 north, and he and his girlfriend had seen a strange craft in the sky. I'm sure it was the same one, 95 north would have been to the east, the same direction the craft was going.

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.

An object with a red light was slowly flying parallel over the Ben Franklin bridge in Philadelphia, approximately 1 mile from where i was standing. I did not pay much attention to the object until it passed behind a building and immediately came back from behind the building. My first thought was that it was too quick to turn around after passing behind the building and it did not seem to be flying backwards. It continued slowly flying back to its original position hovering over the Ben Franklin bridge for about 1 minute. Then it suddenly flew toward me and stopped about 20 feet in front of me. The time it took to fly from its position over the Ben Franklin bridge to the position 20 feet in from of me took less time than it took for me to blink. As it flew toward me my eyes started to blink but before they closed i could see a tail behind the object created from the speed of the object and the red light. The tail created by the light reminded me of the light tail created when at the circus and you spin the light they give you around and it created a line of light. As it hovered in front of me for some reason i could not clearly see the object, which i thought was strange. It was fuzzy and i could see almost like an outline and the red light was on the bottom of the craft, but no navigation lights. There were no wings and the object seemed to be the size of a small bus, and it hovered in silence. As it started to fly away i could see now that the red light was the outer rim of an opening with a bright white light in the middle surrounded by the red rim. I live in an apartment building in the middle of my floor with maybe 8-9 apartments on each side of me and on the 27th floor with another 4-5 floors above me. As it flew away from a standing position i noticed that it did not arch up as most crafts would require and just raised and flew away. At 20 feet away i would think it would have arched up and needed more room to fly away to pass over my building. I read that many sightngs are attracted to military sights so i overlaid the location on a map with military facilities in the area. And to my surprise it matched perfectly. My sighting seemed to be in the middle of 5-6 military facilities. Not sure if its related but following the sighting i was in a bar with my girlfriend and a man walked into the bar and sat next to us. i look over and said hi but he did not immediately acknowledge me. He first looked at my girlfriend and said nothing, then looked back at me and started to say things about me that nobody knew except me and my girlfriend. It looked like he read my girlfriend somehow before turning back to me. Shocked i denied to him any of the information he said at which point he looked at me and said "your girlfriend thinks these things". I continued to deny and he said "I underestimated you". This statement surprised me because i think in order to estimate someone you would need to know the person. i do not think people estimate strangers. I know for a fact that my girlfriend has never seen the person. I have thought about this incident constantly and more interested in talking to someone that can ask me questions than reporting.My background is computer technology and i am very detailed I know that nothing can fly 1 mile in less than the blink of an eye.

We were on our rooftop when we saw a bright light in the west horizon. This light moved slowly similar to a plane. My girlfriend asked what it was and I initially told her a plane. The bright light moved from west to east across the city skyline to the north. It continued across to our south east when we took notice that it was not a helicopter or drone and definitely not a plane. Three things we see a lot of from our deck. It didn’t have any sound but was close enough to mistake as a drone but far enough that you couldn’t make out a shape, other than the round sphere it was. Inside there were many colors ranging from green to purple to and deep blues to magenta even. This is when I started filming the object. Then the sphere changed forms to a gas, like a white smoke, circular in shape but not symmetrical boarders. Then back to a smaller sphere with color patterns on the inside. When I went to show my girlfriend the video I took. We both looked down for about 3 seconds at the phone and looked back up. Sure enough the light sphere was gone. I have a minute video of this.

4 orbs flying north came in to veiw July 21 2022 @ approximately 930pm. 3 we're very visible making the belt of Orion, which is normally over my house. I was amazed at the sight until I saw them move. That's when I noticed the 4th orb who seemed to be watching the 3 but from a distance. As they made their way north they changed positions so effortlessly to make a perfect obtuse triangle. They were flying so high, planes passed under them. It was amazingly awesome and scary all at once. I have video but it won't let me upload them to your system.
