Circle over Winter Garden, FL
Resolved to a known cause by an investigating body, with the identification on the record.
The report, as filed
At first I saw the white circular light moving quickly with a tail, thinking it was a shooting star. It faded (died out) but then came back into view, when I took my video. It then slowed down, and the tail became more billowing, with cloud-like puffs. SpaceX launch from Florida [NUFORC annotation: Rocket - Certain]

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.

On my way to practice, heading east on Highway 50, I saw a rectangular figure that was golden in appearance in the sky. With this, I immediatly took out my phone and began recording. It emitted a golden light and moved around quite a bit. It would fade into black and I wondered where it went. Then it reaapeared and faded even faster. I never saw the golden light that was emitted after that. Once the situation was over, myself believing in that energy can be tranferred from entity to entity, I felt an energy that I had never felt before, and it sent chills up my spine and throughout my arms, leaving goosebumps.

I was asleep and a very tall being appeared to me. It was approximately seven feet tall, it was wearing a dark cloak with colored rings on its collar (orange and yellow). It had the appearance of a very important creature. While it looked like a typical "Grey", it also had a very human appearance. It didn't look straight at me, but slightly to the right; therefore I was looking at the left side of it's face. It spoke to me in English, but it's lips didn't move. It said, "I am a well-known member of your society. You know who I am. I am Alien number six.". I responded, "Who are you? What is your name?" It bend to it's right, but I woke up.

On February 14, 2015, around 7:18 PM EST, while driving north-bound on SR-535, I noticed 4 red-orange orbs of light evenly spaced and moving from West to East in what appeared to be a straight line formation. I turned off the radio in the car and rolled down the driver side window in an attempt to hear some sort of sound - although the lights were still moving there was absolutely no sound. I couldn't determine if there was any solid objects behind the lights. The lights were bright, not blinking and I didn't see any smoke or trail. At first I guessed the altitude to be around 800-1,000 feet. I stopped the car on the side of the road - by this time the orbs of light were hovering high above my car still moving East and appeared much larger. Slowly they broke off the line formation, the 2 leading lights appeared to be slowing down and circling back around - the pattern was now random. As I continued to watch the orbs moving slowly, one of them, suddenly shoots or expels a small object at a high rate of speed downwards at an angle - the small object expelled looked like a white light with a short tail (looked like a tiny shooting star) - the white light and its tail quickly disappeared as it moved away from the orb - it maybe lasted 2 seconds at the most. I now believed the orbs were higher in altitude and moving faster that what I originally perceived - maybe as high as 5,000 feet. I tried to call someone on my cell phone at least 3 times to get another witness to the event - but the calls didn't go through. I tried to change to camera or video but by the time I was able to do so the lights were so far to the East that they looked as small as any other star in the night sky. The whole time I could also see an aircraft (not sure if commercial or military) high in the sky (at least twice as high as the orbs) with normal set of blinking aircraft lights and also moving West to East.
