Formation over Georgetown, DE
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I have a number of shots that will not all fit here. The incident happened Sep 17, 2022 over a 7 minute period. I was standing on my deck at 7:20 in the evening and first noticed the unusual strip of blue in the southwestern sky. Then a cloud like formation appeared in the strip of blue, small at first, then got a little bigger, split in two and then back into one, then just disappeared. I thought it was a very unusual sighting.

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.

While driving home from Peterkins RD in Georgetown around 7 pm, I took Andersons Corner RD home and saw a bright white oval, orb like object in the sky over the field that did not appear to be too far above the treetops. For a brief moment my mind reached for the rational and I wondered if a new tower had been placed there because at first glance the height seemed right, but I had just traveled that road earlier that day and 2 nights before and there was no tower there in the daytime or evening. Then I also realized it was a bit too far above the trees to be a tower and it was too big. The object appeared to move slightly but mostly hover. I was able to get 2 photos of it when it was all white. But then it changed and there were 3 large diamond shaped pattern lights in blue, red and green. I stopped in the middle of the road and tried to get video but by the time I was able to get the video going it just disappeared from the sky. It was just suddenly gone. There was a plane that was flying near it and in comparison, the lights on the plane looked like a tiny dot in the sky. In the photo you can tell that it is large because the small plane did not even show up. I can't say for sure what it was, but it was certainly unusual and did not look like anything I had ever seen.

It was a light flying through the sky with a v-shape behind it. We saw saw it on one side of the tree but it disappeared on the other side of the tree. This house is near an airport but we’ve been here for year and have never see anything that looked like that. It was wild.
