Formation over Fort Myers beach, FL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
There was an orange ball floating over the water and then began moving east towards the land and crossing that barrier. Moving in an uneven direction, bouncing back and forth. After about a minute of being on land, four or five more orbs started dancing around circling each other. I have videos
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #178600). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
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.
