Light over Miami Shores, FL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was driving north to my home. I look up and see something that looks like a jet leaving behind a strong jet stream. Something about this however, was very attractive. I noticed it moving super fast and so I started recording. Honestly my first thoughts were that I’m exaggerating to myself and shouldn’t record a plane/jet looking normal with a jet stream. The truth was, after looking for a while, it was clearly not a jet or anything that looked to be man made. It looked like a dot of light. Then, after recording for 20 or so seconds, in the stream of smoke of this entity, i see another light emerge. I couldn’t believe it. As I’m recording, I notice the second light, in the stream of the first entity, begins to create its own plume of smoke. At this point, I know I need to pull over ASAP. The first video cuts off, because I’m recording on Snapchat, which only allows 1 minute recordings at a time. I start a second video as fast as I can. At this point the first jet stream is far to the right of the second light. My attention(and the camera) begins to drift to the second light which has remained it seems where it originally appeared. Until it started creating its own more full and expanded smoke trail, in an upwards direction! The angle of directional change was surely over 90 degrees. I begin to stop my car and get a clear zoom shot of the second light going in this new upwards direction. As I look at it with my eyes then at the camera, It’s clear that this second light has turned into 2 new lights creating their own smoke trails. Both entities were headed in a visibly parallel direction to one another. The light of these entities appeared to be pulsing in a non uniform pattern. However when they lit up, they lit up together. After only close to 7-10 seconds of getting a look at these lights, they disappeared, as did the smoke trails fade into their disappearance. However, the smoke trails of the entire travel and distance covered were to last for about one to five minutes. With the smoke trail of the 2 objects being the smoke that lasted the longest in the sky. After the disappearance of the 2 objects, I quickly try to find the first light, which still had an apparent smoke trail. There were lots of houses and trees around me, and I couldn’t see where it led to at one moment. But after driving to where I could see where this object would’ve been, I saw nothing. The smoke trails of the original first light had faded significantly, and there was nothing left but a several lines of smoke in the aftermath. I’ve never seen anything move faster than this in the sky other than satellites and shooting stars. I still don’t know if this a rocket entering in the atmosphere or exiting it, asteroid, or meteor. That’s why I’m reaching out here. Please reach back to me so I know this is being seen, otherwise I will try reporting it to another organization. Apologies for my foul language, and shaky camera. Thankfully the most significant moments were captured with clarity. Please keep me posted as to what this could be, I’m not necessarily hoping it’s a UFO, I just want to learn what this extreme event could’ve been. It surely must be something of interest to the scientific community. I’m waiting on a response, thank you! 3 videos I took are attached. The picture of a pinned location shows where I first spotted the entity and started recording.

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.

It looks like an oval form and with pinocle, I think I see something next to it that looks like metal. It stays still until I start trying to film it with my phone, then it moves quickly. It move so fast like nothing I have seen before. It stays very still now..like it is watching me ..or this part of the world..very scary..actually. I have movies and pictures.. I can send them.

Walking westward down a quiet residential street just after dark, I watched several low and high flying planes coming and going from both Miami International and Opa Locka Executive airports. Looking just over my left shoulder as I scanned the mostly clear sky, I suddenly witnessed a very unusual object streak by just over the treetops (an altitude of only about 50 - 60 ft.) It was traveling in straight level line at about the speed of a fast moving bird (40 mph?) while throwing off a trail of sparks. It was in my view for only about 2 or 3 seconds and disappeared over the houses and trees. The object itself was not visible, only electric sparks emanating from a thin line probably about a foot or so long. There was no smoke, odor or sound. It looked very much like a 4th of July sparkler shooting through the air like a missile or an arrow, very similar in size, shape and intensity. Another comparison would be to the tracers they shoot off with fireworks. The difference was in the trajectory. This thing moved like it was under its own power and headed somewhere with a purpose. It wasn’t ascending, descending, or decelerating as one would expect if it was a bottle rocket or some other kind of model rocket or firework and it didn’t explode with a bang. Also, if it was something like that, I can’t understand how someone could be in a position to direct it along such a horizontal line of flight. Another explanation would be some highly unusual atmospheric effect, but even with sparks flying, it wasn’t high voltage lighting. It was a calm breezy evening with clear skies except for a few puffy clouds here and there, no charged feeling like we get when thunderstorms roll through. There were no power lines or street light wires anywhere nearby. As I continued home, I had that feeling of static electricity running up my back and the hairs of my neck standing on end. I chalk that up to my imagination, but the feeling was real.
