Circle over sarasota, FL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was watching the sunset turn into fireworks then I noticed something in front of the clouds not moving not or doing anything I took my phone out and took a few pictures and even zoomed as much as I possibly could to get a pretty clear picture.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #176593). 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.
