Light over Orlando, FL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Took my dog out around 7pm at the intersection of Lake Baldwin Lane and Starboard Street. It was just before a storm so it was a little dark and windy but the sky was relatively clear as you could look out west over the lake and see the storm cell approaching. As I looked out at the approaching storm I caught 4 bright lights moving very fast across the horizon heading north. They appeared from kinda below the tree line but also where there was a small clearing in the tree line so it was a brief window but it was long enough to see them clearly. They were moving in sync and evenly spaced apart. They were all bright and all the same size and color which was white. There was no body to them. It was just light. They were in front of the storm cloud, but behind the tree line and also just below the tree line. The cloud did not appear too far away - my guess would be College Park at the furthest. They were moving a lot faster than any plane would move if it was flying any where through that area. Also, it was still day light so I could see there was nothing between them and they were not attached to anything. No noise. No contrail. I wasn’t going to post and was doubting what I had seen until I checked the recent reports and saw a post on 4/22/22 from someone in St Pete who described exactly what I saw.

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.
