Formation over Baton Rouge, LA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Witnessed a line of circular lights coming across the sky from the direction of Venus heading south. Visible dots of light moving in a perfect line formation. Each dot followed the one before it in a single file, perfectly spaced pattern. They continued to cross the sky in this manner for approximately 5 minutes as we watched. We estimate there were approximately 20 dots of light. At some point a plane was descending at the nearby airport underneath the procession of lights and appeared much lower in the sky in comparison.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #156079). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
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.

Was videoing the bright light. I knew it was a plane. I looked at the video the next day and saw the other object.

Hello I have been experiencing strange phenomenon since last year. I thought it was spiritual and I even had a paranormal investigation. Lights have followed me for months and I thought it was spirits. I have hours of videos of weird spacecrafts I will release whatever you need. They have now started flying over me while I drive everywhere I go. I am very worried. I have a link I can send with over 100 videos and that isn't even scratching the surface. Please let me know what I should do. The objects are round lights that start small and disguise as stars. when they approach they grow in size. There is 4 or 5 different crafts I have seen. some very large some small like drones. There are two lights that always follow me and I believe they are a ship that is disguised as stars. The crafts in the videos seem round and some seem square and flat.

I saw a large black object in the sky while driving home from work. I tried to watch it as it hovered, trying to peer and see if it could’ve been a hot air balloon, so I took a picture zoomed in as much as I could so I could look at it when I got home. I didn’t see a basket below the object. I looked up weather balloons, and it didn’t look like that. It moved very slowly and was in the process of descending when I saw it. I was driving east on I-12 in Baton Rouge. I only saw one large roundish black object at 4:54 PM on 01/21/2020.

Girlfriend and I both arrived at EBR library at Independence. The second I locked the car, we both looked up and saw an oval rapidly flash three times above the main building. Only a second or so after spotting it, the object disappeared into darkness almost instantaneously. It appeared to fly forward and then nothing.
