Egg over Palm Springs, FL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was running around 5:30am. Mostly clear skies, and low light pollution (street lamps etc). The moon was behind me entirely. I looked up and to my left when a movement caught my eye. I saw a bright white object, somewhat egg shaped. It was anywhere from a few hundred to a thousand feet in the air. It looked to be roughly the size of a car. It was gliding very quickly through the air in a slight arc, faster than any plane or other aeronautical craft known to me, spanning at what an arm’s length would be one to two feet, but in the sky was a large distance. It only lasted about 1.5-2 seconds. It looked like it was lit from within, and although the white light was pure and bright, and seemed to be moving in a circular motion, the object did not give off brightness around it, only a faint glow. The object was not falling, like a meteor crashing through the atmosphere; there was no tail, debris, or sound. It was moving smoothly and independently. It was being guided. It suddenly stopped, flashed a bright blue light on one side, and taking a sharp right, it basically jumped into hyperspace. It blipped and was gone. But I could see the direction it had moved in, after making that perfect angle and change in direction. It happened very fast, but I have never seen anything so clearly in my entire life. I was looking directly at it; it was not from my peripheral vision, I saw it from the moment it appeared in the sky, to the moment it jumped.

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.

A light came from the NW sky traveling SE. It appeared to be very distant in the sky like a satellite. It shined like a rocket with a bright, white head and red, pointed tail. The head flickered like a twinkling star. The tail had little flicker. There was no trail behind it. The moon was full and would have illuminated a trail. The sky was clear with stars showing. The object continued to about 80 degrees above the western horizon. The brilliance and tail began to fade as it passed the zenith. The path became a slow arc bending to S and then SSW. It faded to a dim white light by the time it disappeared behind trees.

The craft was not far from Mara Largo and the Palm Beach International Airport here in Palm Beach County and was flying away from the estate, but and not from it. These craft are regularly seen in this area periodically and at times have been observed using strange devices in the Palm Beach County area. In one instance when one of this type of craft were seen in 1996, the craft was flying at about 200 feet and as it got closer to where I was sitting across from a large wooded area in a park the craft released some form of electrical explosive device that exploded near the ground in the woods approx. 75 yards from where I was sitting. Whatever kind of weapon it was it exploded into a perfect dome of bluish white light about 50 feet in height. It was unbelievable, and without my military training, I would have been quite scared, I am sure.

Triangular shaped flying object in night sky; moved in a very unusual pattern, going fast at times and slow at other times. Took photos and when I later zoomed in, the flying craft seen in the photo appeared as a triangular shaped white light. Another photo showed it as a triangular shaped blue light. Very strange. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
