Formation over Vero Beach/Indian Riverr Shores, FL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I walked out of dinner with two others and saw the most incredible sight in the night sky northwest of where we were and probably close to Sebastian. It was a large formation in the sky with many twinkling lights. Some of the lights were colorful and were rotating reminding me of a Spirograph design I had made as a child. There seemed to be a brighter center object which emitted an orange /red glow. The lights swirled but then gradually came to center shrinking the formation significantly before dropping too low on the horizon to be seen. I actually do not believe in the exsistence of UFO’s but now my opinion has changed completely. This did not resemble anything I have ever seen in the sky, in print or reported on before. It was an amazing sight, quite large in the sky and completely consuming.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #145206). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
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.
