Circle over Daytona beach, FL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Went to watch the sunrise and saw a bright light hovering over the ocean, thought it was a drone as it was moving ever along slightly. Then it started to rise, the higher the sun got the higher the object rose. Went all the way up until it was a tiny speck my camera couldn’t even focus on it anymore. Just stayed high up there, watching. You would never notice it if you didn’t look up.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #157185). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

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.

Saw two big lights in the sky, one was bigger because it was closer. I ignored it completely because there was and airport close by and I was driving. The biggest light was getting bigger and closer I assumed it was a drone, it had different lights flashing different colors. It got so close I could actually see what it was, it was triangular shaped as it tried to land on a small forest area on my right so I got curious and turned right to look at it closer. I figured I was not the only one who saw it as I was getting closer it kept descending and there was a driver behind me accelerating and driving bumper to bumper, I figured he was scared of what we glimpsed. I kept going but I turned back to see If it actually landed. At that point I only saw the second light at a very far distance and I was not brave enough to park and investigate where it landed. I was able to record the one that was far.
