Light over Temple Terrace, FL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I witnessed multiple strange white lights moving above me, in cloud cover on the evening of 09-12-2021 in the city of Temple Terrace, Florida (East of Tampa, Florida). I had gone to run on the track of a local middle school around 10:30 pm. I noticed the lights over ahead of me while I was running and for about 15 minutes afterwards. There were at least 4-5 white lights moving and zipping around rapidly in the sky above, sometimes in formation, but more often not in formation. I decided to record the lights, and as I was recording, an airplane came right through the area where the lights were. The lights were zooming and zigzagging around the aircraft, which continued flying East to West. The plane is a steady moving red light in the video and I could see the white lights moving around the plane. I did not hear any sounds other than the plane engine. I will be attempting to send video separately.

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.

This is a true account or may god punish me. On December 21 2020 I was invited by the son of a high ranking freemason to attend a viewing party for the great conjunction aka the "star of Bethlehem." Shortly after sunset our group was in the backyard waiting for some prime stargazing. About 45 minutes after sunset a huge fireball fell in an arc towards earth and since it was the end of a mayan cycle we were unsure if this was the end of our world. There was no danger however when we looked back up there was a huge rectangular prism hovering above us that was only illuminated in a haze by the lights from our surface. It was composed on the outside of triangular crossbars and it did not move in the slightest. It was the length of many football fields so that we could not see the end in either direction but we could observe its' width which occupied ~1/10 of the observable sky. ~2 minutes after the craft appeared a black helicopter appeared and was hovering directly above our group so low that the trees were swaying and it persisted for ~3 minutes thereafter. The homeowner's cat is normally very calm but it was showing signs of extreme distress. The craft persisted for ~1 hour before floating upwards and disappearing.

This looked like an iridescent boomerang or like a stealth bomber with a sheath over it. It moved about the speed of a jet but silent and it was lower than the planes in the flight path . And you could almost see through it like a cloud but ghosts like. Like a plane with a sheet over it. Both myself and my husband saw this.

Five objects hovering in the sky and they were moving at a rapid speed. They would move and stop rapidly.
