Unknown over Atlantic Beach, FL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
At 5:03 am, I checked our security cams, and, for the first several seconds of clicking on our security cam 1, the security system kept saying the system is busy and unable to record when I clicked "armed" or record. My husband and I received a series of notifications (thru the security cam app we use) regarding motions detected, but he seemed to be ignoring them though. I checked the security cam 1 and viewed it live. It seemed like something was interfering with it. I shared the live cam with my husband, but he said they were spider webs. Below is one of the video clips that I saved on my phone. More than 4 bright lights/or light reflections started moving sporadically later in the recordings, while 3 of them, shaped like small squares, were vertically aligned at the top left of the video. I think the video below was recorded at 5:25 am. I stopped the recording at about 5:45 am, and those unidentified sporadic bright lights were still hovering ne! ar or by the security cam 1. I'm assuming this event lasted about an hour, because at around 6 am, the sun generally starts to rise. I also noticed in one of the recorded clips, a bunch of raccoons were running across the other side of the street towards where the dumpster is and away from our driveway.

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.

Sounds to us as though the object may have been Mars. PD

We were driving northbound on Seminole Road an object with a square front and green lights appeared behind us high in the sky and then flew past at an incredible rate of speed until it was too far away to be seen. It did not disappear but instead flew at such a high rate of speed that it was beyond or range of sight in seconds. The object appeared to be heading roughly northward.

I was just sitting outside tonight, looking directly above my head in Atlantic Beach, FL. Staring above and to the western sky, I saw what resembled descriptions of the AZ lights. The difference was the lights I saw seemed so far away that the speed they were exhibiting is indescribable. These lights were so far away though that if not witnessed continuously would resemble stars. I kept my head turned upwards, with my gaze staring in a single position, and the lights moved outside of my periphery. This was my way of determining the lights were moving. At certain points, there seemed to be 1 to 6 lights illuminated at once. Then, all but one light would be visible. Then the lights seemed to illuminate the way a Cuttlefish displays its luminescence. The semi-circle luminescence moved to the northwest. Looking at a single point in the far away sky, I would stare at the last point I saw a light, and then the light would disappear, and then the light would reappear at a different point. I knew it was a different point because I hadn’t moved my gaze and when the light reappeared I had to move my eyes. The lights seemed to at some moments to be in a semi-circular configuration, maybe 4-6 lights, and then they would dissipate to 3, and then just 1 light. At intervals the lights seemed to kind of flash heat lightening, but the “heat lightning” would move quickly like the individual lights did. I look at the sky often and have never seen anything like this. I am quite shaken. Did anyone else witness this? Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
