Circle over Hollywood, FL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
This morning from 0730 to 0810 there were five white circular discs hovering over Van Buren Street and the Broadwalk at Hollywood Beach at the Broadwalk. They were very high and there were four of us watching them. Their movement was very slow. They were not affected by the wind which blew at about 15 mph from the east the Atlantic Ocean. I am a photographer and using my 300mm lens got several photos of them. The four of us wonder if they were either white weather balloons, drones or UFO’s. A policeman passed by on the Broadwalk and I mentioned it to him, without looking he said they were drones. I’m not sure if he made a report of it or if he notified his superiors. We left after about an hour and the objects were still there.

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.

At approximately 5:52 pm my girlfriend commented on an unknown flying object which was across the waterway, perhaps 1/4 mile west, perhaps a couple hundred feet south of our position and roughly a 20 degree angle in altitude from the balcony. When I turned my attention I saw a multipointed star shaped object, symetrically bulging in the middle, black in color and intermittently reflecting the sunlight. The object was perhaps 50-75 feet below a small Cessna type single engine aircraft flying northwest. The size was roughly 1/3 of the length of the plane above it. At first I assumed this was an object being towed under the aircraft as its speed ans direction appeared to match. What happened next surprised me though as the object deviated towards due north along the waterway and the plane continued on its path. I then observed the object continuing northward and maintaining relatively level flight. I watched it into the distance and lost visual contact as it appeared to go over the buildings of downtown Fort Lauderdale approximately 9 miles to the north, passing just east of the fort Lauderdale airport. The entire episode lasted less than 15 seconds. I did not perceive any noise from the object above the background street and plane noise. There was no contrail, visible means of propulsion or anything I would associate with a control surface. I would have thought it was some sort of balloon if not for the speed, horizontal orientation and level flight. I was able to shoot a few seconds of video at the tail end of my visual contact which I will email separately.
