Formation over California, MD
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Sitting on back porch enjoying the sky. 3 orange, more amber , oval like an elipse , lights approached at a high speed in formation each independently moving in a slight wave pattern from east to west, under the cloud cover . A bright moon filtered by cloud high in the sky the lights appeared to move just under the clouds and appeared to be glowing lights, not solid objects. Same rate of speed and distance headed west into the horizon. Very very fast. There was absolutely no sound.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #166702). 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 took several pictures of the Moon with my phone and included was a small green object moving around it. Lens flare? Witness elects to remain totally anonymous. PD

Very bright light over the DC area as if it was a star but didn't move along with the other stars in the sky. After a few minutes it then started to slowly dim, flashed a red color, then orange and eventually the light completely went away. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. Witness does not indicate units for the duration of the sighting, so we have arbitrarily indicated a duration of 10 seconds. PD
