Light over Melbourne, AL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Me and my girlfriend were looking at the stars around 8pm, it was kinda cloudy and lightning could be seen on the horizon lighting up the clouds over the ocean. As we sat there we noticed something moving in the sky. The object, about the size of a small star, would move from one spot to one another and stay still almost blending in with the stars. Also, I saw once that very dim light from the object would be reflecting onto the clouds as it flew. It would disappear behind the clouds as well. When it would move It moved at about the speed of an airplane. It even did some circular loop movements up and down that were way too fast to be a plane. It would stop completely still and I would put my two fingers in between it to make sure I was actually seeing what I was seeing and sure enough it would move to another spot. It would sit still for a few minutes and then move to another spot and sit still like a star. At one point we thought we saw multiple lights mov! ing in a similar fashion but we tossed that up to us hyping it up. There definitely was one “craft” that I followed for as long as it was around being about 20 min. Not sure what we saw but it was odd. Other air craft were clearly seen in the sky but the way this one moved was different and the lights never blinked only a solid light like a dim star.

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.
