Changing over Grant-Valkaria, FL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I filed a report on this sighting earlier. I had reported that the object resembled a very large Mylar solar sail. Since then, I had time to review my 3 minutes of video with some software that allows me to slow down the frame rate. I am filing an image I’ve been able to copy from a screenshot that shows a monochrome cube shaped object in a large checked pattern. I observed this object for 3 minutes as it appeared to rotate and flash extremely brightly randomly. The period between flashes were as short as 3 seconds and as long as 20 seconds. I counted sixteen flashes with two periods repeating themselves; 4.11 seconds, 14.82 seconds.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #146749). 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.
