The report, as filed
Flash of light woke me. Looked out of hotel room window to se a series of bright lights hovering in sky. Sometimes lights moved a little and seemed to be both clear and colored but object never moved. Moon visible above hotel and stars are clear. Light anomaly appears to flicker and has remained stationary.

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.

I was driving south on highway 17 south toward Litchfield Beach, SC. In front of me in the clear blue sky was what appeared to be something flying in all directions. Up, down, left, right. As it would turn and flip and flash of light would be seen.

Saw two orange balls of light stationary south east of Litchfield beach about 10-15 miles off shore well above ocean. Next came two groups of 3 orange lights in a row several hundred feet apart and started moving towards the two original orange lights. The two singular globes started moving and the two triple groups sped toward them. The two singles all of a sudden cast off multiple singles in all directions almost like a aircraft releasing chaff. Then all the orange lights/globes extinguished at same time. That sighting was at 10 pm. Had one further sighting of two orange globes in same location for 5-7 seconds at 10:25 pm also, but nothing occurred similar to first siting.

I looked out over the ocean from my deck and saw an orange/yellow light moving from north east to south west. It disappeared and then reappeared and then another one lit up to the south west for a moment. They both disappeared a few seconds after. Two jets appeared a few minutes later and appeared to follow the same path.

Facing East and looking out over the ocean, several reddish/orange lights would appear, move from right to left in a horizontal line, and disappear, as if they were attached to something rotating. The lights were about the size of two or three bright stars combined as seen from earth. They would vary in number but always appear in a line if together. Sometimes the line would move, tilt, or the lights would get bigger, as if the object(s) were moving closer. At one point, three sets of lights could be seen in three different areas, as if there were three separate rotating objects. We then saw three white, smaller, blinking objects the size of stars that flashed rapidly in a series of three, that appeared in the direction of the previous phenomena and then moved quickly to the southwest in a line across the sky. Nothing appeared after this. The same phenomena happened last night around the same time and lasted approximately the same duration.

1 object came about as 4 others evenly spread out repeating each other formed in a perfectly symmetrical line. I tried to get it on video and picture but it didn't show up on my phone or my gopro hero 3!!!

Bright orange lights in a circle shape that seemed to flash in a small, straight line and then disappear. At first it was just two orange lights and then nothing for a minute or so and then there seemed to be more, probably no more than three or four clusters at a time. It was over the ocean up with the stars and the whole thing must have lasted about 10 minutes, from around 10:55 to 11:05 as I remember looking at my phone at one point and seeing 11:00pm.
