Unknown over Cutler Bay, FL
Resolved to a known cause by an investigating body, with the identification on the record.
The report, as filed
I was driving EB on SW 184th Street approaching Old Cutler Road & saw a long chemtrail to my southeast (about 2:00 position) except unlike normal chemtrails it appeared to be launched surface-to-air like a rocket or a missile. There are no rocket launching facilities nearby, & Cape Canaveral is about 230 miles in the opposite direction. It seems to have been launched from Biscayne Bay.

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.

Hi, this morning I woke up at 5am and when I walked out the door at around 5:35am I noticed that the sky was pretty bright and it wasn’t a full moon ( I tend to look up at the sky in the morning around this time because I find the the night sky fascinating). I looked up and noticed what appeared to be a “fire ball”. At first I thought it was a meteorite but when it began to divide itself I observed very odd behavior that doesn’t occur from a meteorite, asteroid and even space debris. As you can see in the video 8 lights appear to create some type of pattern in the sky and as one light starts to descend the others follow. Also, if you noticed on the left side of the video towards the end, there are two lights that appear that weren’t part of the fire ball. They all start to descend towards the same direction. I was facing South of Princeton mobile homes when recording in Cutler Bay, FL.

They kept heading south and at about a 45 degree angle to the horizon the ball split into 5 smaller objects. They remained side by side for the most part. These 5 objects then appeared to slow down to almost a complete stop before slowly disappearing from my line of sight. They were an unknown considerable distance from my location during the entire event. I monitored the news through out the day but there was no mention of the event. I also contacted a local news station they had not been aware of any reports or sightings.

We saw a round object in the sky. It was quiet and moved fast but it would stop and hover. As it stopped it changed color. As it moved, it was blue, but when it stopped, it turned red. My mother saw it first. Her first sighting it was green. She came in and called me my daughter and her boyfriend. We saw it continue west, and it seemed to either land or disappear.

Me and few two friends were sitting in the front porch when we saw this bright green light decent from the sky and Hoover over the sky for a while, and it stopped for a few seconds when it started moving at a very fast speed into the sky and disappear into the night, at first i thought it was a helicopter but it was too bright and fast moving to be a chopper.
