Light over KY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Passenger aircraft cruising at FL34,000. I was a crew member that entered flightdeck mid-flight. Two other crew members pointed out the 4 lights they had been watching for 45 minutes. Lights flying in circles vertically, horizontally as well as tight zig zag patterns, then flying straight upward. The circular motions were like a dance. No regular patterns, but incredibly fast maneuvers. The lights would disappear and reappear occasionally. The altitude of the objects was unknown, but they were so high that they never left our view during that time. I watched them for 15 minutes before allowing another crew member to observe as well. As our pilot said, "no aircraft exists that can perform those maneuvers." Four crew members witnessed.

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.

Picture was caught on a trail camera. There’s no houses or anything around for miles so it’s not a porch light

Husband was taking water to the horses in lower pasture. On the way down, he saw several red and white lights. Thinking to himself it couldn't be house lights as none close enough. He parked at fence & put hose in waterer. He looked up to see a silent "thing" above the trees to the NE which was stationary. As he watched it started moving N-NW making no sound. White light on front and red on back. Said it were really BIG because of the space btwn the red and white lights. He said then another came into his view, rising up above tree level, then going same way, and another, until there were 4. He said they made no sound at all.
