Diamond over Orlando, FL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We were watching SpaceX Ax1 launch from Kennedy Space Center from our business parking lot in Orlando. Several of us were taking photo and videos of the launch. One of my co-workers as using a android phone and his phone auto focused on this object flying across the sky intersecting the line of the rocket launch. I took a video of the launch and after watching it post launch, you can see this black object flying through the sky on a direct linear path. THe object seems so have multiple flat sides in the shape of a sphere. As the object rotated, its panels would reflect the sun. It was on a steady flight path and spun as it moved from North to South. We were standing in parking lot in Orlando looking East towards Kennedy Space Center. The sky was perfectly clear with no clouds.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #167380). 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 was standing outside waiting for the Falcon launch, when a red orb appeared above a neighbors house and it began to travel West towards me very slowly for about a minute. When it slowly turned South and traveled a short time before it was “enveloped” into a dark mass. I had my phone in my hand waiting for the launch, and I’m absolutely sure that it wasn’t the Falcon 9..

Date 02/27/2023 time first seen 2:45 dissappeard somewhere between 2:49 and 2:50. A cylinder shaped object, fell from the sky towards NW (north west) from where i was standing (which was at the front of the dennys restaurant, the area closest to the semoran road) it had a thick trail of white that followed it, the trail did not stay in the air. The object falling appeared to be all white. The object fell for about 2 minutes and then appeared to have stopped for a moment, it then changed directions, and started falling diagonally. And after going diagonal for about a minute the trail behind it began to dissappear and I could no longer see the trail or the object. Appears to be a normal contrail

It happened very fast. I saw the object through my window. I live close to the airport but have never seen a plane this close or going on that direction. It was way too big to be a drone. It was very quiet and it happened too fast to take a pic of video. A few minutes after I noticed the fountain in the lake behind my home was off but no idea if there's a connection. I would just like to know how many others saw the same thing.

I took a picture of my bird feeder near sunset and in the picture I noticed an emerald green sphere in the sky. When I enhanced the picture it appears to be a spacecraft. The sky was clear.

I saw from my back yard something very bright coming from the east to the west at very high speed it was so bright and fast I barely had time to pull my phone out to take a quick video at the same time I was calling my wife out to see it. When it got over us it blew up and lit the sky it disappeared then it reappeared but in two fire balls then came back together into one large ball and took off again in high speed.
