Changing over Palm Beach County, FL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We were walking on the beach and I was watching a massive developing thunderstorm out in the Ocean. I've seen shows where they speculate UFOs are frequently seen around huge thunderstorms, Volcano's, and natural disasters. So, I'm looking at the storm and something in the base of the storm phases in and out of view. I thought it could be an aircraft but pilots always avoid bad weather and fly around it. Pilots would especially avoid a giant thunderstorm if there were flying low only a couple of hundred feet above the water which it was. It phases in and out of view a couple of times not really moving. Planes have to move. I pulled out my camera and snapped a few pictures. I wished I had video the object but I didn't thick that fast. You have to zoom in to see it. So cool.

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.
