Light over Henderson, NV
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was looking at the sky towards the east and I saw a white light traveling north east. Initially I thought it was a satellite until I noticed there was another one following behind. A couple of minutes later, and saw two more in the same formation heading in the same direction. I went in the house and told my husband, he came to look but they were too far away at that point. I went back to my phone call but keep watching the sky. A few minutes later there were three lights traveling together in the same direction, I yelled through the door to my husband and sat back down. One of the lights broke off from the other two and headed north west. My husband sat down with me at this point, and we noticed more lights appearing to come out of the clouds one by one, and head north east with the occasional one headed north west. I lost count at 15, but I would say there were up to 20 lights that did this. We watched as the majority of them went out of sight, but there were 3 to 4 that stayed in the general area. We continued to watch them for a while. They were moving slowly, but kind of spontaneously. I then noticed a cluster between 5-8 of very dim, flashing lights in the same area that appeared to be dancing around but all traveling in the same general direction (west-south west.)

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 1023 AM while walking northwest along Canyon Village Parkway near Mint Orchard Drive in Henderson, Nevada I had just completed my morning jog when I observed an extremely bright red flash in the skyline just to the east of Black Mountain towards Las Vegas. I then witnessed what appeared to be a round metallic object continue to flash in an extremely bright red light similar to a welding torch. I thought at first it may have been an aircraft reflecting sunlight as the sun was to my back, but it remained stationary approximately 3-5 miles due northwest at about 45 degrees above the skyline just to the east of Black Mountain from my location. It continued to flash brightly for a couple of minutes. There seemed to be no pattern to the flashes. After about 5 minutes, I then witnessed two bright white orbs appear from the east and west of the flashing object. The two orbs were smaller than the first object and stopped to each side adjacent to the flashing red light. The orbs were illuminated in a very bright white light and remained solid in color. After five minutes, all three objects disappeared. There was no sound and I could not tell which direction they went as they just seemed to vanish. As a military veteran, I have no explanation as to what these objects could have been. I definitely know that they were not any aircraft or any balloon.

8:08 pm 2/3/23- I’m watching the thick cloud-covered sky from my balcony when suddenly I catch movement in my right eye so I turned toward the airport when a large black smooth-edged triangle comes out of the clouds towards me about where planes are hovering to land. It came towards me then made a tight u-turn and went shooting up and into the clouds. I watched itt shoot up through the thick black clouds then disappeared. IT NEVER MADE A SOUND! Did anyone else see it?

My wife & I had an unobstructed view of the entire sky filled with star like crafts slowly moving across the sky. I viewed this alone for about 35 minutes before waking up my wife to corroborate my experience. If I could take a picture of the sky during these 90 minutes, you would see in upwards of 200-300 craft in the sky, every single minute during the course of these specific ninety minutes. It looked like stars moving across the sky. Except I've never seen that many stars in the sky before. These crafts seemed much closer than stars. If I were to give an estimate, they were inside our atmosphere or just slightly outside of it. For every 10-20 lightly dimmed craft, there was a slightly larger, brighter craft that seemed to be "leading" the others. None of these crafts made any noise. These crafts were randomly spaced out from each other, but they were all moving in the same Northeast to Southwest direction. They were all moving at the same speed, which seemed to be maybe 700-800 mph. From my vantage point, the crafts seemed to separated from eachother by no more than 3,000 feet. During these 90 minutes the clouds were scarcely seen in the southwest skies. Looking North and East, the sky was completely unobstructed by clouds for the entire 90 minutes. After the 90 minutes, clouds rolled in and completely blanketed the sky. This subsequently ended my ability to see these crafts.

Noticed object in the sky not moving. It was a clear morning, so the lights shown bright. Looked around the sky and there wasn't any aircraft visible. Yet, the object continued to hover in the sky not moving

At 20:50 I observed 3 circular objects moving through the sky. They had Orange flashing lights. 2 of the objects were very,very close together. The 3rd trailed behind. The object's altitude was about 1500 feet. The 2 objects that were together moved further away from the 3rd. Once they had moved about 5000 feet from 3rd they flashed their orange light brighter 1 time then they were no longer visible. The 3rd object contined flying toward their last location. It suddenly was not visible, no bright flash.
