The report, as filed
On May 2, 2020 around 22:15 I was standing outside and while looking up I saw what appeared to be a dash of yellow/gold light with a rounded shape in front of it, the visual lasted maybe 3 seconds, but I definitely saw it and it threw me off. After seeing it my eyes became watery and it freaked me out. About 10- 15 minutes later I was driving on the road I saw the light and I saw something white float from the ground up. After viewing this my eyes again became watery and all other lights started messing with my eyes, especially a certain star.

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.

Pinellas Park, FL
Sighting of 2 fireball type objects within a minute or so of each other. Traveling from the west to east. The flying pattern of the object was not of any conventional aircraft. The fireball seemed to consist of 3 individual fireballs or lights. To the naked eye, they appeared white, but the video taken shows them as almost orange in color. They moved horizontally but would randomly drop down in the sky and would eventually slowly disappear into thin air. Then, shortly after one disappeared from sight, another would appear in the same location as the first and take the same path from west to east, as the previous one. Sighting was made by two individuals, husband and wife, in their mid-50's, of sound mind and body. I will be posting an additional report regarding the same type of sighting that happened in the same exact location exactly one year to the day, and almost to the minute prior.

At work on New Year's Eve. As I looked up in the sky watching the fireworks. I noticed a glowing orange red orb around 70 to 90 feet above my head. There was no sound and moving at a slow pace. Once that past by my head I noticed a second orb moving in the same direction from the north to the south.

Plane with red blinking light seemed to be pulling what looked like a sparkler. Went into a cloud and stayed stationary.

These two sightings occurred between July 3-4, 2015), at approx: 10:30 & 11:00-11:30pm, respectively Define location where viewed as Pinellas Park FL (between Park Blvd/82nd Ave and 66th St/49th St) July 3: Three orangy, yellow round lights (orbs? craft?), slightly pulsating, traveling in unison, slightly triangular formation. Located at first sight from our location, due west, just beneath tree line. Moved 'upward' to about 75°, traveled slowly, steadily southward, then seemed to curve back westerly. Did not travel quickly out of sight as a plane, rather moved away & getting smaller, 2 dimmed a bit and disappeared. Third gave bright flash and disappeared. These objects appeared to be over about Belcher Rd to Alt 19 and, perhaps, Park Blvd or 54th Ave area (husband's estimation). These were seen by husband, self and 7 yr old grandson. Visible for approx 2 mins. July 4: After all local, neighbourhood fireworks ceased (a bit after 11pm), one orangy, yellow light (exactly like ones previous night), appeared...first viewed in NNW @ approx 45°. Traveled slowly southward; about halfway between N & due W from our location, object veered westward and appeared to ascend somewhat, growing visually smaller. Object continued up to about 80° (?); glowed slightly before ascending further and beyond naked eye view. About a half hour later, same type of object appeared, only closer to due W from us. Same basic 'flight' pattern as the one a half hr earlier, only more easily seen and tracked. This object traveled straight S to directly across from our house, still about 45°, veered sharply due W, ascended less steeply even than first. Grew smaller and eventually was unable to be seen. This object was visible for nearly 2.5 minutes (+/-) and was witnessed by husband, self, son (24), grandson (7), grandson (21) and grandson (25). At first we were thinking these might be 'flares', but the strict changes in trajectory suggested otherwise. Would surely like to know what these were.
