A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I noticed a metal, almost liquid looking, sphere on top some trees near my local windmill farm, when suddenly, there was almost what felt like a blue laser pointer fashed into my general vision then it was gone things only get weirder when 6-8 jets were all flying towards and around each other and two men in a truck showed up got on bikes would not make eye contact with me as me or my dog passed but watched me walk all the way back to my car very erie feeling :(

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.

Standing outside with my friend, watching the geminid meteor shower, december 13, 2015, at about 10pm. My friend asked "What is that? Is it moving, or am I seeing things?" and pointed above our roof. So I looked up and saw what appeared to be a teeny tiny, but extra bright, version of the big dipper constellation. The tiny non-constellation was sitting in a place that I had never seen stars before, and where my friend confirmed no stars had been visible ever before. After we stared for a few minutes more lights turned on, and instead of looking like mini dipper, it then appeared to have 2 parallel slightly curved rows of about 7 lights each. The lights blinked or flickered individually, but not in any particular pattern. One light, in the middle on the upper row, that had previously appeared to be the start of the mini dippers handle, didn't seem to blink and was brighter than the others. It had been stationary (aside form the blinking), and we couldn't tell how far up it was, just that it was above the clouds. There was no sound coming from it, but I had been on the phone with my mom for about half an hour precluding the sighting and for the duration of it (relaying what I was seeing on the phone). My phone did break up quite noticeably when we were standing beneath it. After we watched it for maybe 10 minutes, the lights looked bigger (as if moving towards up) and then smaller (as if moving away), though staying in the same basic position as it had been the whole time. The lights very slowly got dimmer over the course of about 10 more minutes, until they disappeared completely.
