Triangle over Las Vegas, NV
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
The triangle sat not far above the tree tops, totally silent. It had 3 massive lights on the bottom. 2 red and 1 white light. They were rotating in sequence. First the red one would come on and get super bright, then dim out. Then the next red light did the same thing, followed by the white one. It kept repeating that sequence. The light was so memorizing. ((Sic. Mesmerizing)) It wasn't light from light bulbs. It was bright like stars. The lights looked like they were coming from inside the aircraft. I was very close and wanted to go look directly under the aircraft. The top of the triangle appeared to be shifting. It didn't appear to be solid. It looked like it was engulfed by "boiling clouds", similar to what boiling water looks like, but instead of water, a cloud was boiling. As I got closer to the triangle, I suddenly noticed all sound was gone. No traffic, nothing. I also felt like I was 3 feet in the air, even though I was on the ground. I felt as though I was on a pitcher's mound. Best way to describe it. The colors around me were slightly brighter or more vibrant. I felt like I was somewhere else although I appeared to be right where I was standing Then a man on a bicycle came from behind me and I remember looking at him and he was moving in slow motion. It was so strange. It also was apparent he didn't see me or the massive aircraft in the sky. I went to yell at him to look up and it felt like he was literally a million miles away. It literally took him minutes to ride about 50 yds. He was in extreme slow motion. As I stared at the 4 "UAPs", another beige triangle appeared out of the thin air, flashed all 3 of it's lights, and vanished before my eyes. It didn't fly in and fly out, it literally appeared and vanished. It appeared a second time, flashed it's lights at either me or the other triangle, and it just vanished in the blink of an eye. Again, it did not fly away. After it vanished the second time, I looked at the triangle, and it started going straight up. The 3 balls of light were gone and I could hear traffic again. Colors were back to normal. I felt like I was somewhere else prior. Very hard to describe It took the triangle 12 minutes to finally get out of my view. It rose straight up until I could no longer see it. I could see the rotating lights for almost the entire time. I realize my story is crazy, you don't need to tell me. I stopped telling people because of how it sounds coming out of my mouth. I can assure you, it's 100% true. I mean, I came up on a massive Triangle aircraft, up close, in the middle of a sunny afternoon and I saw aircraft vanish into thin air. You start to question your reality and sanity. Thank you for your time

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.

It was approximately 5:17 a.m. on 9/15/2023 when I was outside my house taking my morning stretch. As I leaned back and looked into the sky, I saw a distant light/orb moving across the sky (it was still quite dark out). At first I dismissed it as the ISS drifting along its orbit, but then the orb started to make turns and moves. I dashed inside and grabbed my phone and was able to take one video of the orb (I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max). The uncut video is about 40 seconds long, but the orb can only be seen in the first 15 or so seconds. As you can see from the video, the orb really starts to make some moves at around the :03 second mark, and then it does several turns before zooming off and vanishing. I have attached the uncut original iPhone clip. I also retained a professional video editor to enhance and cleaned up. I attach two of those clips provided by the video editor. The enhanced version really shows the details of the moves the orb makes. This is not a hoax and I provide the raw, untouched video.

A bright flash in the sky caught my eyes. I looked and saw a white light silently travelling across the sky from west to east. It was blinking erratically sometimes barely visible and then sometimes flashing very brightly. One particular flash actually left what looked like a relatively-large slightly-erratic solid illuminated yellowish-orange line in the sky. It looked like long exposure photography. It was visible for the time the light was lit during that flash, perhaps a second. The line was the length of maybe a quarter of the diameter the moon appears in the sky. I've never seen anything before like that in real life. The light continued moving in a straight line toward the East, blinking erratically with mostly dim blinking which made it hard to see as it traveled away. I often watch the sky at night and see many planes and satellites at night and this definitely wasn't a plane. The flashing was irregular and I can almost always see the red light on planes and distinguish the different lights. It did not appear to be a satellite due to the blinking and the strange line artifact. Afterwards, just to be sure, I thoroughly checked my glasses' lenses for scratches, thinking perhaps it was reflection in a scratch, but I didn't find one and I've been wearing glasses for decades and I've never seen anything like that. Maybe ball lighting? I have no idea what this was.

Backyard Ring camera captured 2.5 hours of video footage of a bright triangle moving across the sky from 6:30pm to 9:10pm when it traveled out of sight behind my neighbors house.
