Formation over Ft. Walton Beach, FL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
On Tuesday 01/19/21 at approx 19:00 hours I was walking my dogs when I saw a strange light in the sky. It was stationary and hovering in one spot. It had colored lights that flashed. I then realized there were more and they appeared to form a circle over the area of Eglin Air Force Base. I have been here for four months and never seen this anomaly as I walked my dogs at night . It has been 1.5 hours since I first noticed them and they are still in position. As I’ve watched them I’ve realized that there are two different kinds. The major circle is formed with the larger ones with colored lights. However , there are some smaller ones that are white lights and could almost pass for stars. However their light constantly dims and brightens . As I was taking photos they would dim and be in some photos but not others .

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.
