Sphere over Dewey Beach, DE
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We were sitting at the beach late at night watching the stars.. we were looking at the sky when I thought I saw a shooting star, I realized it was no star but an orb.. then I noticed the second one.. they were high up but very high in detail so I knew they were big. They were moving across the sky fast from very far up so they must of been moving very very fast… they were night to eachother always changing distances from eachother and occasionally crossing and switching places, moving in a slow delicate way. They let off this green-blue whitish glow. There was no sound. We sat in islands for a good 30 seconds while watching them dance around and fly past in the sky. Once they got far away they stopped and pulsed, then they disappeared abruptly and a VIBRANT white filled our eyes. It was not a flash that was coming from a specific point but our complete vision was just pure white for a flash moment. The whitest white I can imagine. Then it was still and we left for how uncomfortable we where. We both confirmed we saw the same thing and it wasn’t just a bug in our eye.

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.

The red sphere was huge and seemed to scan the area. The diamond shaped UFO had a rectangular bright white light (like a large window) at the front tip., the other three tips had inconsistent flashing lights with seemingly no pattern or correlation. The lights would flash colors like red to white, just red, and just green. while some of the other lights were just solid red, green, or white. From a distance they were like dots of light, as they got closer and flew slowly, directly over us, they appeared to be square/diamond shapes. None of the UFOs did not made noise. Some moved individually, some moved in pairs, but as they departed they headed in the same direction. They appeared to mimic planes. We believe that the lights served as either a communication tool with one another or as a way to disguise themselves as air planes. Based on the movement and size of the crafts, they were piloted directly, not remotely . However, with the technology we have available to us today, it's movements are not consist with a modern day piloted aircraft. Again, the UFOs more drone in it's horizontal and vertical movements. None of these observations occurred under the influence. The planet Mars was very visible and not to be confused with this UFO event.

On 7/27/14 myself, my wife, mother in law and our children were camping at the Delaware Seashore Park at Indian River Inlet just south of Dewey Beach, DE, on Route 1. At about 2200 hours that night I was gazing at the bridge which traverses the inlet. The bridge is illuminated with blue spotlights. Upon looking at the top of the southern part of the bridge I observed 3 blue in color triangle objects above the bridge. I could not judge how far above the bridge they were. Upon viewing them further they began to move south. I thought they were the lanterns people launch but the wind was blowing at about 15-20 mph from the SW so this could not be lanterns because they appeared to move effortlessly south. The three objects then began to dance around by criss crossing each other than going higher into the sky. They then became dainty blue lights the. I lost sight of them over the ocean. This was witnessed by my wife who is a master level behavioral therapist, myself who is a 14 year police veteran and currently a detective. My mother in law also witnessed this.
