Changing over Mary Esther, FL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
It looked like maybe 100 white birds flying together but not in a formation. Just in a blob that changed shapes. I first noticed it as white/gray Birds. Then it disappeared. Maybe 1 minute later it reappeared in the same location (Except I was closer because I was going 60mph). I was able to get a short 30 second video the 2nd time I saw it. It kept changing shape and didn't not look like normal bird flock behavior. This was at the beginning of a runway for the military base in the middle of the day, sunny weather. The white of the "birds" seemed reflective with a dark gray contrast.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #172634). 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.

Around 9:23 pm on Sunday November 27th 2022, I was taking my trash can to the end of my driveway to prepare for the next days garbage pick-up. I paused to look at the clear night sky and the stars. I started to take a long exposure photo (which I attached to this description). I set my camera on top of the trash can at the end of my driveway, aimed at the sky and looked up myself as my camera processed the image. As I was looking skyward I noticed a very dark triangular object flying from the east, moving westward. It was completely silent. There were 5 very dimly lit, barely visible orange/amber lights on the underside of the craft. It only took between 5-6 seconds to fly into and out of sight again from each horizon line adorned with trees about 50 yards away from me on both sides.

While sitting in my car waiting for work to start at 5:30 in the morning I looked out my window as I'm sitting in the parking lot and noticed a small green light just straight through the air it was flying low and it traveled so fast that it made me I was shocked and I had it caught on my dash cam but erased it trying to retrieve it. I immediately asked my coworker if they saw the same thing I did and they did not but one of our vendors at the store saw the thing descending from the air and noticed it and it was the same color and I told him I saw it and he told me he saw the same thing so I know it had to be real.

Distracted by thunderstorms, I pulled into the lot at the mall, that would be Santa Rosa Mall. It was approximately 7 PM when my attention was drawn to the south, towards a green light. The light, which appeared point size at first, and then more oblong, sped northbound, almost as if it were following the highway. Several minutes later there was a sound like thunder, a low rumble. Again, my attention was drawn toward the southern horizon. Only, it wasn’t thunder. Instead, four huge helicopters appeared to come in low off the beach and proceeded to fly inland at high speed. They flew from south to north, staggered one across from each other, and followed the same route as the green light had travelled. The helicopters were dark in color, not exactly black, but more of a glossy navy blue, and each bristled with refueling booms and radar domes. They appeared to be unmarked, and as they past east of me, in the vicinity of the highway, the beat of the rotor wash was enough so that I could feel it against my chest.
