Formation over North Port, FL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
10/2/19 @ 8:03PM EST UFO SIGHTING in the 34287, FL area: I just witnessed a ‘Phoenix Lights’ type of formation of UFOs. I walked out tonight because a neighbor lost something in the grass and was walking with a flashlight looking for it. I noticed something strange very high about. I did not have a chance to video tape it due to its speed. It was very high up, miles into the ski. It is about dark and I noticed it coming from West and going to the East. This was huge due to the size of the formation and how high it was. Probably 10-15 white lights in a pointed wing shape.

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.

The object looked like 2 bright white spheres on on top of the other. Each time I would take a photo it would be one strange round object. I also captured a photo of the two objects coming together

I was standing in my front yard, just looking around. When I looked up, I saw what for a moment, looked like the Moon. Then I saw a second round sphere. These 2 round, white spheres hovered in the sky for about 3-4 mintes & just disappeared. No flight up or down, just gone. Very strange, as they where in the Western part of the sky.

I was sitting inside in my truck it was just getting dark then I saw these very small 2 blue lights heading right for me. As it got closer, they separate and the wind was so strong the truck shook. I know it sounds strange but they almost look like eyes. Black spot was in the center of the blue. no bigger than an egg. They came back around me and took off in the sky faster than any thing I have every seen. I never took any photos so it just my word. It happen in seconds.

2 large spherical objects, very bright orange-red, lifted upwards towards the sky, stopped briefly. One craft remained hovering while the other shot across the sky heading east. The hovering craft remained for at least 10 seconds,both silent before disappearing across the sky again.

December 31, 2016, starting at 11:33 pm until 11:39 pm. Observed first, a single brilliant, orange red sphere, then approximately 2 minutes later, 2 more of the same spheres flying side by side, following the same path as the first sphere. They were initially spotted from the south east near Punta Gorda, Florida, heading northwest over North Port Florida. The speed was very fast and silent. No visible vapor trails. Sky was clear with little street light interference. The first sphere flew a direct, horizontal path then suddenly disappeared near the north border of North Port. There were no clouds to camouflage the light. Sphere was large enough and bright enough to be seen at a far greater distance than the point at which it disappeared. The 2 spheres that followed, initially flew the same fast and straight horizontal paths, then suddenly started a rapid, narrow, zigzag, pattern, which lasted a few seconds. They then resumed their direct high speed horizontal path and disappeared in the same spot the first sphere did. My tablet would not take helpful photos.

Noticed approximately 50 red lights travelling from south to north in the western sky. Objects were silent, flew in slightly irregular patterns and there were several clusters of 4-5. This continued for at least 20 minutes from when I first noticed them. I had my husband come out to witness this and he was as bewildered as me. The circular red lights were all travelling in the same direction and at similar, but not exactly uniform speeds. They all disappeared at a particular point in their travel northward. It was hard to tell if perhaps they were obscured but cloud cover but we did notice that stars were still visible in the area where they were disappearing. Surely this was seen but many many others. Hoping to hear news of what these actually were.
