Circle over Louisville, KY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
As the sun was setting, I was gazing at the horizon marveling at the beautiful sunset, when I noticed some bright almost glowing circular shaped objects that were almost coming outside of a cloud moving from right to left but in a zigzag pattern and then disappearing inside the cloud and sometimes disappearing as they went up towards the sky. They were probably several miles away and what looked to be about several thousand feet up. From my vantage point they were relatively small, but large enough to be very noticeable. At one point there were several visible in the sky at once but for the duration generally one object would become noticeable then disappear as another object became noticeable. I am very certain that these were not birds as they flew rather fast and disappeared. I can't be certain however, but I don't submit something like this if I don't believe this was something extraordinary. I heard no noise they left no Trail but they fluctuated in they're glowing intensity.

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 saw a very distant blinking light, it was white, and i thought it was a plane because planes pass all the time but it was moving really weird. it was dancing around and zipping too fast to be a plane so i asked my roommate if she saw it too, and we watched it for a while. we saw other flashing lights but this one kept coming back, it zipped around for a while before passing directly over our building and out of sight. as it got closer the color got orangey, but white at the same time almost. it was close enough to where we could see the lights clearly but they just looked like lights, no craft.

We were sitting on our porch talking. My fiancé said, do you see that bright light in the sky. I said yes, and I looked at it. We were trying to figure out why it was not moving. It was just bright, and stationary. it was very low in the sky, But too high to be a structure. Too big to be a drone. Suddenly, the light disappeared. [NUFORC annotation: Aircraft - Possible]

Lots of lights flying in a row. Like a large space ship. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Probable]

Couple mo ago, looked up on back porch, saw small bright light in northern sky. Did not pay attention because near airport, looked up again few min later, still there. Looked like miles away, no movement, no sound. Took pic, trying to do video when shot east over trees faster than anything man made. It Looked far away but when blown up, is blocking out elec wires on property line, maybe 25ft away and can see boomerang shape. 2nd pic taken by friends family 3 wks ago in parking lot approx 5 miles away. Both late dusk. His pic of ?? Same shape as I saw but different size, his “ more mature”. Don’t have details of his sighting, except they were freaked out. As a flight RN I’m familiar with flying things, but not these.

Witness was at his son's house and the UFO was over Bowman Field. The UAP was described as a 'tumbling' cube. His sighting lasted about 10 seconds as the UAP flew upwards and northeast and out of sight.
