A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Me and my girlfriend were in our backyard last night around 10:45 star watching. I was looking one direction, my girlfriend another. She screams to me “wtf is that, turn around” I look up to see around 6 white lights in a single file line pulsing. It only lasted about 6 seconds before they disappeared. it looked as if they were taking off. My girlfriend saw them at first and said they were in a circle formation rotating before I turned around. I tried to pull my phone out to get a recording but it was too late, they had already vanished

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.

I was walking my kids to the school bus stop for houses down we saw it descending it had red yellow and green lights flashing. This is not the first time I’ve seen it it’s usually higher up in the sky this time it came down close. It’s always out at 6:20 AM. We ran back to the house and it disappeared.

When standing in my backyard, having previously seen UAP at dusk into evening, I gazed up to the 100% clear blue sky and noticed a shiny, peanut shaped aircraft with no wings cruising across the sky from east to west. It was traveling at approximately 5000-10000 feet altitude and transversed the entirety of the visible sky. Speed was constant, but there was a noticeable field surrounding the aircraft that appeared to be shaped as if gravity were bending around it in the direction it was headed. My wife was on the phone and I yelled for her to get out there immediately and when she came outside she was able to observe the craft as well. Took pictures, but as usual, they’re blurry.

On 10/23/22 around 10:30PM, I went outside on my deck to have some quiet time to myself. With already knowing UFOs exist I decided to look at the sky and see if I could spot any signs of a UFO, to my surprise there was several different UFOs in the sky all spread out among different parts of the sky, all of them had the same shape and blinking lights but their movement speeds and patterns varied. I decided to go get my phone so that I could download a radiation detector app just to see if it would measure a peak in radiation when aimed at a UFO. However, after trying to download a few different apps my phone would not fully install the app to be used. My husband came outside while I was messing with the apps and he started working to build a fire in our fire pit. I walked closer beside my husband and began telling him to look at the UFOs and was telling him about the apps not downloading and how I believed it was a glitch due to the UFO activity above us. I then looked around the sky and spotted a particularly low flying UFO moving closer towards our direction and with red and green blinking lights. Out of joking towards my husband I then threw my arms in the air waving at the UFO and basically said "hey little blinking guy, come get me, I'll take my chances wherever you take me". My husband told me I should not be playing with that and that I was wrong for even staring at them and giving them my attention. At this point we went back inside our home, and approximately 3 minutes but no more than 5 minutes of being inside I started to feel a burning sensation that was increasing on both arms on the inner parts from my wrists to my elbows. Within 15-20 minutes my arms felt like they were literally on fire and had fever to the touch. I applied vasiline which made the pain worse. I then noticed on the top of my right hand there were 3 very small spots that appeared to be open sores that had scabbed over. On the morning of 10/24 when I woke up both arms were still very red and sore but the pain and redness did decrease. After throwing my arms up at the UFO and taunting it, the UFO seemed very aware of my communication, possibly understanding what I said and was doing because it responded by rapidly coming closer to me.

I was on my way home from school at about 5:30 pm EST, when I saw what looked to be a star to the West of where I was. This confused me, since the sun had not completely gone down yet, and the 'star' was as bright as Polaris on a dark night. About 1 minute passed before a cloud covered the 'star'. When it emerged about 1 minute later, it was glowing a bright red. It had not moved from its position the entire time, so it didn't seem to be a plane or jet. About 30 seconds passed before a cloud covered it again. The cloud completely passed after around 10 seconds, but the 'star' had completely vanished. I asked someone in the car if they saw it, but she didn't seem to notice it. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
