Sphere over Leavenworth, KS
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
On back porch smoking a cigarette observing the stars. Out of nowhere, behind me an immensely bright flash of whitish/blue light catches my attention. At first thought it was a plane, a satellite, Helll I even tried to rationally think it was a lightning bug, but it was neither of those things. UFO would flash extremely bright, then disappear then along the same path would randomly flash again and continued to do this on the same path for about 10 minutes until I lost sight of it behind the tree line. I also at one point what saw a blueish hued tunnel of flashing light that happened when the ufo was about halfway across my view of the sky. Last but not least two orange orbs came into my eye view before losing view of the originally seen craft.

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.

While watching Leavenworth Veterans Day parade, approximately 11:00am the parade halted to allow a flyover to celebrate Veterans day. I was taking a video and didn't notice anything strange until I reviewed the videos. On closer look I noticed that at least nine UFO's were moving in and out of sight at incredible speeds. As the flyover was close to being centered above the parade area I noticed the UFO's mimicking the aircraft formation with one of them being steady in an over watch position. The time between movements was just seconds. The speed at which they moved up and down had to generate high G's, not only that but they seemed to stop so sudden that it must have been unmanned. I don't think that anyone could have piloted an aircraft that would have traveled that fast and stopped so sudden. The UFO's also seemed to hover while the aircrafts passed by. They made several formations, a "V" formation, a three by three formation and a four point square formation. Upon reviewing the video I took some snapshots of the UFO's and the formations to study the objects, and the objects were solid and round.

At dusk on August 25, 2020, 2 members of my household witnessed 2 large, round orange lights rising from the horizon south of our home. The bright orange globes rose up slowly. I thought they were floating Chinese lanterns and went outside on my porch to watch them drift. I have seen dozens of floating Chinese lanterns and I’m familiar with how they travel through the sky at night and their light effects. As the 2 orange lights slowly climbed higher, they changed color instantly and then changed direction suddenly moving north. They changed color from bright orange to more yellow and white. As the objects got closer I realized they were much larger than a Chinese lantern and further away. The objects did not appear to travel in perfectly straight lines to each other and were silent. They were both going the same general direction of north toward Fort Leavenworth. As the first object got to my 10 o’clock, the lights suddenly went off and a dark, triangle shap! ed object was clearly visible. The triangle shaped object maintained the same path. The second bright, yellow-white light that was following the first moved past my 10 o’clock and kept traveling north with its lights on. It never turned it’s lights off. I have a video I took on my cell phone. The event was observed for almost 2 minutes.

After seeing 4 ufo's a couple weeks ago, my fiance and I have been more diligent about looking at the sky. After he came home from work, I went outside to greet him. He looked at the sky toward the direction of the Missouri River and saw a bright "star". He joked and asked me if it was a ufo. We laughed, but as we were watching the "star", it got brighter and brighter. After a minute, it quickly dimmed and started moving to the east. After about 10 seconds, it shot upwards so quickly, it almost looked like it simply vanished. About 5 minutes after, our dog was let outside. She turned to the direction we saw the craft and bristled and growled at the sky.

3 bright star-like lights moving S to SE at roughly the same speed, one right after the other. There was no blinking, and no flashing. All started off as white. The last light stopped and hovered for several minutes in the SE before appearing to circle in place and continuing travel toward the SE. It turned a pinkish color as it was hovering.

My Fiance and I were outside, looking at the sky. We watched what we thought were the ISS and some satellites (were in fact UFO's and I reported that sighting as well). After that sighting, we saw a HUGE craft in the east flying down above our street. It had a large light on top and smaller, flashing lights on the bottom. The craft moved without making a single sound. After it disappeared behind the building in front of us, we saw a plane flying in about the same spot, which we used for comparison to determine that the craft was indeed not a plane.
