Light over BOYNTON beach, FL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Single light low on the horizon during the day, disappeared into the ocean came back out continued on. Thinking that it was very low for a plane to be flying, I witnessed a light low flying straight for miles headed south. I wouldn’t have seen it if there was not rain actively on the horizon giving it a great backdrop. But when it moved to the left and then the right and then drove straight down into the ocean I knew that I did not see a plane flying. It came back up out of the ocean and continued on its low path. When I saw it deep down it was two cities away and the light did not lose its intensity or size.

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.
