Light over Saint Augustine, FL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was walking my dog at night. Moon was out. As i was walking back to the house i noticed how beautiful the night sky was. I decided to look up on my phone what planets were visible. I look up again and i noticed movement. Then more. There was about 20 lights spaced apart moving across the sky in a row. I called my son at 9:14 pm and he made it outside just in time to see about 6 of these lights. No blinking and the last 2 lights appeared to be side by side as a rear guard kind of formation. Was a very exciting visual experience. Not sure if it was musks satellites . The last 2 lights side by side makes me think not satellites. .

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 thought it was Starlink at first but I zoomed in and noticed there was a dome in the center of the disc. Plus the light shape didn't match Starlink. I contacted the local air traffic control captain but he said nothing showed on the radar at the time of my report. The disc moved smoothly in one direction then all of a sudden changed. Then it gradually just faded into the dark (not the distance), just faded into the air. Not a sound was heard. and based on the distance away and a the size, I'm guess it was several hundred feet wide, at least.

We witnessed a bright fireball through the clouds. It moved about the speed of a jet at high altitude and resembled what a rocket launch looks like, except it was going from NNE to SSW instead of from the south where we see rockets. It never got smaller and fainter like a rocket leaving the atmosphere, but maintained brightness and speed as it left our eyesight without a sound.

While walking outside to my barn I looked up into a clear starry sky trying to see satellites as we normally do on a clear evening, there is little light pollution where we live. I saw two satellites immediately but they were in a straight line formation. On a South-Southwest to North-Northeast trajectory passing at about 75 to 80 degrees overhead. Soon after there were two more in a straight formation. I ran back inside and grabbed my cell phone to video them. When I came back out the first two satellites were cover by clouds and the second two were still visible. Then the fifth and sixth appeared on the same line but spaced further back, then number seven which was trailing slightly. I have never saw a formation like this and tried to debunk it thinking it was the SpaceX train passing over but from all the research I can find they are not readily visible from my location. They were very bright and high as a airliner flew below them. travelling in a strai! ght line. I do not believe they were alien but unexplained, for now, yes. I would like to think someone has seen the same thing as they were very bright. Brighter than any satellites I have observed. Military aircraft do occasionally fly in the area but they are usually helicopters doing night training from NAS Jacksonville. I videoed the satellites but of course it is pitch black.... not sure how to edit it to see if I can get them visible. please email back to verify if it was spacex or other Satellites that travel in a straight line formation and appear very bright in the night sky.

Object was seen moving to the south east at approximately 500-1000ft. Looked like a ball of fire the size of a small car, but was completely silent. The object came into view over the top of the house and was visible for about 1.5 min. Video was taken of the object. Two other witnesses were present at the time of sighting. The sighting ended when the object seemed to disappear about a mile from where it first came into view.

I went to get my mail from my mail box at around 6:50 PM and then I saw a dense light on the sky. I called my husband and my son to see it and it was a white dense light circling 360 degrees miles above the clouds going faster than a plane with no sound and it flew in a circular formation and we stopped counting the time it circled over the sky after 500 times until it disappeared at around 7:12 PM.

The object didn't move at all for about 2 minutes, then disappeared. The bright light was a small, round circle.
