A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
this was a round abject. It was traveling due north. I was watching a jet fly east when I noticed this ball traveling at a very fast speed. i could guess it was going 3 to 5 times faster than any jet I have watched. After it disappeared I waited for the noise of the object But there was nothing. ball shaped dull silvercolor unbelievably fast no noise

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.

At approximately 7:52 pm i noticed what looked like the trail space x leaves when launching so i begin to actually look and it was clear as day like 4k. It was a round orb or fluid disk. It had what i can best describ as plasma around it. It was traveling at a fast enough speed i knew it was not an ordinary plane. As it was flying the trail that you normally see behind space x was in front of the craft. I then took a picture. If you zoom in you can see precisely what i see. Now the kicker. I post to fox13 news tampa bay. They tell me it was spacex. Spacex didnt launch until like 815pm that day. And they launch on the east coast. I have a time stamped picture at 7:53pm

Around 7 pm 3 bright gold sphere shaped objects appeared to the north of Ellenton, FL.. They were moving steady, but very slowly. They were in a triangle formation and after about 5 mins immediately disappeared. I tried to use my cell phone to record the event...but my phone froze and would not work. Upon their disappearance, my phone immediately worked fine.
