Light over Summerfield, FL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Approximately 10:50 pm. Outside in yard on a phone call. A bright white flash on my far right field of view. It moved across the sky at level and straight flight path at unknown altitude(guessing 10-15k feet) It crossed my entire field of view moving from the south headed north in about 3-4 seconds. I have a clear view of the sky with nothing to block the view of its path until it vanished over the horizon. It was completely silent. I’ve heard sonic booms and supersonic aircraft flying several times before. This was nothing like that.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #171184). 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.

My first sighting was on 1/18, around 8pm to walk my dogs, I saw a star bright light to the West of my home. I thought it was the North star, I watched it as it flickered from bright to dim. At 10pm I went back out and it was gone. I thought nothing of it. 1/19 -8:45 pm – I went outside to walk the dogs again, same light star bright flickering in the same spot, it was bright, then dim, to dull with a hue, I went and got my cell phone to take a picture after 3 photos, my phone went dead, shut off. I went to get the binoculars and my sister to see what she thinks. Thru the naked eye you really didn’t see much movement, it looked like it was moving but the light was so bright moving in and out, you were memorized. But thru the binoculars, we saw red/orange like fire, it rotated, zig zagged, with several bright lights, moving top to bottom, circular motions, around 9:30pm it disappeared slowly to the South West. We suspect a sighting of Venus or Sirius. PD
