Other over Bradenton, FL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
As the UAP rose it seemed to alter direction which caused it to straighten out in my line of sight and thus condense to a departing rear view only or it could have begun to cloak itself. Either way, it moved quickly toward the E/SE until disappearing.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #178359). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
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.

There appeared to be fifty or more. At first my son and I Thought they may be drones. They were very high in the sky and moved like a swarm and changing direction together. They were not birds. They were metallic appearing and we watched for about ten minutes before leaving the area, which was over a housing development. I took videos and made screen shots from the video. I am a former educator with an advanced degree and my adult son, who is highly observant, was with me. We pulled over to observe these objects.

Walking the dog I watched the light move from southwest to the northeast across the sky and disappeared. It appeared to be extremely high and did not move in a perfect straight line. I did not have my phone with me. There were no flashing lights. It was bright enough to be a planet like Venus but moved thru the sky .

After exiting AMC theatre looked up at storm clouds forming & noticed a fast moving silver ball or sphere heading NW and upward...it kept rapidly moving in a straight line and all of a sudden it turned solid black and then disappeared! sorry no photos as I was stunned and only lasted about 20-30 seconds!! Thought at first it was a balloon but it never bobbed in the wind or changed its trajectory! It was perfectly round.

On May 1, 2022 our Ring security system reported “person detected at pool”. Over the next eight hours, twenty (20) Ring videos were recorded showing a changing entity that had a varying presence of from one to three sections. When all sections were present, the top resembled a head; the middle, a face; the bottom, a torso. A beam emitting from the torso looked like legs. Sometimes the entity changed the number of parts within the same video. The entity was a very bright white light in the video but was not visible to my naked eye. Beams emerged from the top and bottom of the entity. Pulsing was observed in the lower beam, looking like the entity was sucking a substance from the pool. The beam that pointed towards the sky varied in intensity. Five sample videos are attached: 1) The 10:57 PM video is the first sighting. The Entity was positioned at the south end of the pool, beside the railing leading to the pool steps. It moved in a jerky manner about 1’ to the left then to the right. Some noise is audible on the video. Could be birds. 2) The 11:05 PM video caught the image of the entity and something flying in the sky. See upper left corner of the video around 11:06:43 on the tape. 3) The 11:26 PM video showed the entity moving from the railing to the right arriving at western wall, which has a beach mural. It stayed near the two chairs by the mural. The video also shows a large line on the surface of the pool. 4) The 1:45 AM video shows two strong beams emitting from the top and bottom of the entity. 5) The 5:31 AM video shows lightning-like flashes in a circle of faint light (in western sky) outside the pool cage.
