Light over Fairhope, AL
Resolved to a known cause by an investigating body, with the identification on the record.
The report, as filed
I looked west over Mobile Bay at 9:36PM and saw 22 lights floating and moving west to east. I initially thought it was Starlink however, the lights were not organized in the same manner in a straight line. I stop to film the event. It was extremely surreal, as I have never seen anything like it before. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - 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.

I'm seeing VERY many various shapes, sizes, colors and all are shape shifting. I have 3 videos of fake planes. They're all ufos disguised as planes. I'm seeing them day and night. I have so many pics that it was hard to choose. Only one created a reddish pink mist. Animals across street starts barking when ufos comes down low. Had a tiny one fly in front of my face. Caught it in video. All had different mannerisms. Some hovered for long periods. Some flew by fast. In the 1st picture, a big white one with tiny little ones all around it are on the ground and what looks like aliens behind it looking at the tree which has ufos beside it. I've caught one's with MANY lights around entire circular shape. I hear a low humming noise but not always. I see these by the hundreds at times. As stated, I have 3 videos of fake, shape shifting planes and TONS of pictures of all different kinds, colors, shapes and sizes of these ships (ufos). Never thought I'd see this day come and especially never thought I'd be filling out a UFO sighting form. I've been a huge skeptic all my life. Not anymore! Much thanks! Connie Merrihew

My wife and I were resting on a deck overlooking Mobile Bay facing SW to W. I saw a bright light in the cloudless sky about 90 degrees off horizon. Looked like large bright aircraft - but did not move and was stationary for long time. I then took a few photos and zoomed in on the very bright object. I then took a short 11-second video and object disappeared. My wife also saw this object. We were totally perplexed trying to figure out the object was so high in the sky, so bright and then fast disappearing. I am a former military pilot. I had not consumed any alcohol. When the photo is zoomed in on, it has hard angles shapes, and blinked. It disappeared very fast. I’ve never seen such an object.

I had waited up to watch a live event on our outside tv. I was on the hammock when I must have fell asleep. I then opened my eyes I noticed the first 2 come up in the distance. They were the shape of an A with green lights down one side and red down the other. As they were getting higher there were more the cam up in the distance.

It came up from the south bout 10pm or looking in south direction and seemed to travel north east my two bubbies said it was a jet on fire or something I keep saying it was way too high to be a jet. i first spotted it coming up from some trees across the road were we were standing in the middle of town it seemed to go straight up and then traveled north east till it disappeared. It lasted bout 1 to 2 min no way it as a meteor nothing could of held a trajectory like that and stay light up like it was just skipping across our atmosphere. It had to be a spacecraft or some kind of sub orbital experimental aircraft. Witness indicates a city of "Gairhope, AL." We suspect he intended "Fairhope," and we have amended the name of the city above. PD

Last night around 10:30 a group of 9 people witnessed strange lights moving across the sky. There was a large mass traveling north to south (according to the compass on my phone). As the lights moved across the sky, one of them would drop every few seconds. The large mass moved towards another group of lights that seemed stationary. The lights the mass moved towards were grouped in kind of a line, but all through this time a few of the lights left the formation and dropped down. After all the lights grouped together, they moved together east to west (again, a guess according to my phone), all along dropping a few along the way. We watched until they went out of sight. We all agree it was strange that the lights stayed still and came together, then changed direction and moved off together. I tried to film it with my phone, but the video just looks black. We were able to get a few pictures though and I will send those in an email as instructed below. We all took pictures and tried to record it, maybe the equipment you guys have can see it from the film, but I cannot. I thought it was the meteor shower or something, but now I’m not certain.
