A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

Disappeared in the clouds, or behind them. The clouds moved more than it. It moved very slow. I think I saw a small red light go on for a couple seconds, maybe it remained on. Definitely not an airplane or helicopter. Possibly a private drone of a big size, way up there. Seemed suspicious. I don't know if anyone else saw it. I could see the sky and clouds, a mix of both. No rain, clouds seemed kind of foggy. Object moved slow like at maybe one to two miles per hour, maybe upwards and towards me very slightly in both regards, but I didn't quite feel like it was approaching me. I didn't feel scared. I marvelled at it. I observed it with locked on eye contact. I was very curious. I think the exact date was the 29th, but there's a slim chance it was the day before, or after, and an even less likelier chance that it was two days before or after that date. I'm guessing on the time. I looked up online recently the sunset time of that day in this city and also of the twilight times, and I guestimate pretty accurately. Maybe a range of 20 minutes earlier or later. I'm trying my best to guestimate the distance up and away it was from me, by imaginging the length of how many football field could have been in between me and it, which is of 300 feet. I also saw the hieght of some types of clouds online in kilometers and so I converted that to feet and guessed maybe at the highest it was two kilometers up. Clouds reduced visibility, and I lost sight of it, long enough to give up looking. I maybe saw it for a half an hour and then did not see it for another half an hour. I thought to report this online, I thought to ask people if they saw it. I felt as though no one wanted to talk about the topic, I only brought it once to some people real quick, and I could tell right away that they either didn't care about whatever it was that I was trying to get them to listen to, or they didn't want to talk about the topic and they did hear what I said, or they just cared too much or their own self interests at the time. I am a disciples of Jesus Christ. It's important that I practice His teachings, because it all makes way too much sense to do so. I didn't report this online till many weeks later, about eight, because I was paranoid too. I didn't know if I could trust any employees that worked at organizations that collected reports of U.F. Objects. At this point it's more important for me to report it than to keep it unspoken about, regardless of what kind of response I may or may not get from it. It seemed like there was three organizations online that reports could be made at. It seemed like one that used to exist no longer does. I researched a little bit about all of them. I've studied this topic many times before, in depth. It's all very fascinating, and there is so much involved with the concept. I was surprised to learn of the different types of shapes in the scroll down menu, and of fireball as being one of them, it seems amusing and shocking. I hope to get a call from you about this, with some questions from both of us, in a productively kind, loving, and patient way. There many ways that I'm sure we can both be helpful and insightful towards each other, about this topic, specifically and in general terms. From the X Files episode one, pilot, the marks on the actress, are those based off of a true story, because I think I might have many of those marks or at least one. I don't know if it was TV creativity or not. I'm planning on deleting my email accounts and getting rid of my phone, but maybe you can contact me before that happens, be it in one to three weeks, possibly. I have anxiety with phones please do not text me or give it out to anyone else outside your organization. Please leave a voicemail if I don't answer so that I know not to delete or block your number. In the Authorization Agreement Statement on this online report form, there seems to be a misspelled word, "othe", I don't know if that's supposed to be 'the' or 'other'. It's interesting that the agreement stipulates that those who work for N. UFO R. C. can both change any submitted content, and send it out to what seems like anyone else, and also clears its responsibility from getting in trouble from any actions, or liability, and for being held reliable. With that being said, I sure hope that you and your coworkers are reliable, and make ethical, and moral decisions in your endeavors, so to let the public feel as though they can trust you to work for them an not against them. The content that you ought to be working with is of a very high importance. Please do not use the wordage of the Authorization Agreement form as a means to be lazy and not fully investigate all of the submitted reports. Please don't reject anyone. Please do you best to help out all. And please love God's commands, and your neighbor as yourself. : - )

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 looked out the window at what i thought was a plane, but it was going too slow. Eventually it stopped and went backwards before hovering. It started to go back the direction it was going, but then it started to descend, still flashing red and white lights the whole time. I lost sight of it when it dipped low, obstructed by a roof. I tried to record it, but it was too dark outside and the object was too far away for a good photo.

Heading westbound on I-40 two orange sources of light were ascending up through the cloud line. They were vaguely orb shaped, but had a lot of light reflecting off clouds distorting their shape. Once they broke through the clouds they disappeared.

On July 3rd 2023, while sitting in my backyard hot tub, I saw something I've never seen before. It was at 22:10 EST in Knoxville TN. The sky had some thin patchy clouds, about 15% coverage. I noticed a rapidly flashing white light, strobe-like, to the North, near Polaris. It was above the clouds and I could see it thru a patch of thin clouds as they passed beneath it. Suddenly, from its stationary position, it moved E at a very high rate of speed, accelerating instantly, moving out from behind the wispy cloud I first noticed it in to a clear spot in the sky. It traversed approximately 45 degrees (from 000 to 045) in approximately 1 second. It then stopped instantly, was stationary for another second and then immediately moved W at the same speed at a 90 degree angle from its initial trajectory, with no observable turn. It was as though it stopped and then rotated 90 degrees and accelerated again, stopping after it transited approximately 35 degrees to a second position in the sky. Again, it stopped immediately with no apparent deceleration. After holding stationary for about one second, it accelerated again at the same apparent speed back towards Polaris (000 degrees). Once there, it stopped again as before and after one second it again appeared to rotate 90 degrees and accelerated to the west (270) until I lost it behind my house. It made no sound and the white strobe flashed the whole time at the same intensity. It was behind thin clouds when I first noticed it; after that it was in clear skies. The whole encounter took approximately 1 minute, maybe less. Its overall path approximated a right angle triangle, until it went west. I'm a retired Navy Commander, and Systems Engineer and have seen many different lights at sea in the sky at night, as well as from my backyard; satellites, the International Space Station, meteors and various aircraft, all moving at various speeds. I have never seen any object in the sky move at the speed this one did. It moved across the sky almost instantly, covering a 45 degree arc in about 1 second. I would estimate it traveled 3-4 times faster than any aircraft I have ever seen.

Large black grey sphere. Going from transparent to almost full grey black never moved. But almost seemed it was like waving like a flag. It continues slowly strobbing from transparent to full color till it completely faded away. By the time I though of grabbing my phone it totally disappeared.

I had an experience similar to the three ghosts of Christmas. I was told that I had volunteered to come here, thousands of years ago to help humanity with their ascension process. A few weeks after I discovered I had supernatural abilities, the main one of which I can heal people, I had many crazy experiences of abilities I cannot explain. However, I have figured out how to consciously heal people at will. I can demonstrate this just as soon as someone is willing to step up, experience it, and not become terrified as most do which is why we have remained silent for so long. The time is now for the world to realize we are here and we are waiting to help humanity whenever humanity is ready. Hopefully that time is now.. Thank you.

It’s a cool night with great visibility. I went out on the deck around 9 pm, looked to the SSE which affords the greatest sky view, and observed with the naked eye what I thought was a cluster of flashing lights. I pulled out the binoculars and saw a single faint red light darting to and fro’ about 30 degrees off the horizon. The object appeared to be at a great distance and its movements were rapid across a large area. The light “flashed” at each new position, all of which was random, none of which was patterned or repeated. There was no light trail from site to site or sound. My wife also witnessed the phenomenon, telling me that the pattern “looked like an umbrella.” I did not see any such pattern.
