Circle over Apollo beach, FL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was driving northbound on I-75 around 11:45 pm, when I saw a green ball fly over the highway at a great speed. As I was looking at it fly by, it had came to a complete stop in the air and sat there. While looking at it, it went from a green ball to being a bright white light. As I was driving past the object it appeared to have a white dome shape and flat at the bottom. It also appeared to be flashing white lights like a strobe light. After about 10 minutes, I lost sight of it.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #148439). 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.
