Triangle over Daytona Beach Shores, FL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
At around 1:05 AM my girlfriend and I were looking up at the stars and thought we saw a shooting star. We both saw 3 lights in the shape of a triangle moving at a very fast speed. We checked Flight Aware and there were no aircraft nearby. It was also too high and too fast to be a quadcopter drone. There were no nav/strobe/or beacon lights that would normally be on an airplane. Altitude is unknown, but was above 4,000 ft MSL. Craft was near the Daytona class C airspace and the Orlando class B airspace where transponder and ADS-B is required.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #166153). 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.

I almost thought it was a helicopter search light because it was so bright but it wasn’t the right color and it was going through the sky extremely fast. A couple month prior I saw a very similar orb that was green in Orlando but it was fast it was gone before I blinked my eyes so fast.
