Light over Waukesha, WI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Between 10 - 10:30 pm I observed 30+ objects flying across the sky in single file formation. They were uniformly spaced. They were too high to photograph & just looked like white lights. They were flying Northeast. I called my son's girlfriend out and she observed the last maybe 10 or so of them as they flew out of range.

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 a small spot in the sky, that started glowing orange, as it was getting brighter, went inside and grabbed phone. Thought at 1st maybe the moon, but realized the moon isn't ever seen over in that location from my location. Took a few still shots and 1 video. I could see in both still shots and video a color of orange that looked like flames of a fire, but not jetting out from it. As I continued to record it, it could be seen that it was moving North & after I stopped recording, it disappeared. [NUFORC annotation: Moon - Probable]

Was sitting outside, about 1230am, it was a clear night. I saw an object with a bright light, it was NOT an airplane or helicopter. It moved from side to side, unlike any aircraft we have. Very fast it was. I was shocked! I've seen 1 before in Florida, in the early 2000's there were a bunch of sightings there. It was all over the news. It appeared that it was circling toward Venus, or another bright star, not sure. No mistake, I couldn't believe it myself. It was there about 3 to 4 minutes, then it vanished. I didn't have my cell phone with me, I wish I had, i would have video of it. Simply amazing! My friend thinks I'm crazy lol, but I know what I saw.

At approx 12:05 pm on 11/30/21 as I was driving south on a road I drive everyday I saw a bright object about 30 degrees off the horizon. It looked almost like a streak coming off of it as though it was traveling west to east but as I saw it it wasn't moving. As I reached to try to grab my phone to take picture since I thought it was interesting enough to show the wife I saw out of the corner of my eye instantly shoot up and there was nothing left. At first I thought it might be a comet but since it appeared to go up I knew that couldn't be it and as I saw it there didn't appear to be any movement. Also there is a small to midsized airport about half a mile west from where I was, but the object wasn't near there and there is no small plane, or large for that matter, that could be gone in an instant like this appeared to. Also I know it wasn't Venus since I see that when I drive home from work everyday this time of year at about the same height off the horizon, but Venus is about 15 degrees to the west from where this was. Plus I've never seen it at 12 o'clock in the afternoon. To say this is a UFO only in the literal sense that it was unidentified to me, but it seemed odd enough to find a reporting sight.

walk out side to look at moon. Near it,, satellites were passing by. One dot of light started to move after a brief flash, and intercepted one of the satellites traveling west before continuing east. 30 or so more potential satellites proceeded to pass over my portion of sky coming from the west traveling east, and a few south to north. With how many traveling in the same path, it resembled a convoy or patrol.

Triangle shaped spotted by Frame Park. Disappeared from sight after getting almost underneath in car. Thought was a plane before realized there weren’t any lights on the front and the only outline was from the silhouette on the clouds. Blinking lights on each point of object.

I seen a bright silver light in the sky. Other airplanes were in the distance, and you could see their blinking lights. What I seen was a larger silver light, like something completley silver with full sun reflection off of it, moving at a slower pace, then it moved from what seemed a very slow rate of speed to what seemed like hyper-speed within a second and boom. It was gone. Like a meteor passing through the sky. But it was larger in size. Too big to have moved from a slow rate of speed to being so fast it disappeared in just a moment.
