For a dated, located U.S. sighting, FAA radar data and ATC communications are the records most likely to exist.

I was in front of my home having a moving sale when we noticed to white spheres in the sky over towards the Livermore lab. They sat there without moving for about a minute. I watched the video later and if you slow it down between the 30sec and 37sec mark you see a round object flying across the screen. In real time it’s difficult to see, but when slowed down it’s noticeable

On my porch in Tracy California looking to the West over the ultimate hills towards the East Bay. Started seeing several lights In the distant night sky flying past a really bright star in the Western sky. They were following one another at a 45ﾟ angle to the North. After about 30 seconds of watching this formation another group of 3 to 4 also started flying up in the night sky above this star and to the North. After standing there for at least a minute or 2, Another group have at least 4 to 5 lights went flying up into the night sky pass the star in the West to the North. I then called my wife to the front porch where she also sat there with me for several minutes and watched 2 more groups of 2 to 3 lights go off up into the night sky in the West past the star headed North. I am prior military and know what jets flying high look like. I also know what missiles that have been launched into the sky look like. I have never seen anything like this in my ! life.

UFO SIGHTING, 9.11.19, approximately 5am, Pacific Time, Tracy, CA, USA 95376-1707 I walked out of the house through the carport and stopped at the end of the carport and looked up into the sky and I saw it. It was up high in the sky, a little to right of center and far away. (More details to come). It continued traveling to the west as I started walking to go check the mail (we live in a mobile home park where we can walk to our outdoor post office boxes), but I kept looking up at the sky and I kept seeing it until it was blocked by the mailboxes for about 8 seconds. I was a little afraid because I was alone with this experience. My heart was pounding and my breathing was rapid. My eyes were wide open for the next couple of hours after it was over. After it was out of sight, I went inside and immediately told my boyfriend about everything I’d just seen, then I wrote all of it down. Then I Googled “airplane lights” and “airplane light patterns” and none of them came even close to what I saw. Details: All the lights were the same color, very bright yellowish-white but mostly white, the size of airplane lights, I think they were all the same size, but the end-lights might’ve been a little larger. (This is the only detail I’m not sure of). In the 5 minutes or so that I stared at it, I observed that it was traveling from east to west, which for me, was from left to right, and judging from the distance away, it seemed as though it was moving at about the same speed as an airplane. Steady movement, never stopping or changing direction. About the size of an airplane. Pretty far away, couldn’t hear any sounds coming from it. Because there were so many lights coming from it, I could almost see a shape but not quite. The lights at either end were higher up than the lights in the middle section. The lower, middle lights were not in a level straight line across, but in a right-side-up bowl shape. After watching it for a minute or so, the lights gradually turned off from right to left to the halfway point, they stopped for a second, then they continued to go off all the way to the end at a faster rate than the previous action except for the last light on the left, then that one went off separately, then immediately they all went on again one by one, but quickly this time, from left to right. The light “show” lasted for about 5 seconds. I hesitated to report this because I kept thinking that no one would believe my story. This is why I haven’t reported it until now.

I was 12:17 midnight as i was looking out my window, i seen an object flashing in the same spot without moving. Suddenly it began to move very slowly i started taking pictures and video recording it. The object flashed and moved very slowly it made 5 circles in the same spot from some pictures its clear but still can’t really make the shape. It had three flashing lights off and on and as it moved it moved at different altitudes. At the same time an airplane went by and the airplane flew in one direction with the its lights and a red light this one was very different. It seem as circular object with 3 flashing lights moving very slowly. From the pictures, it doesn't look human like.

At first I saw pulsating lights headed west board that lit up every second leaving a slight visual echo for a total of 5 times. Then from the south, came a small orb. Seemed to very high in the sky, it proceeded north until it suddenly then followed the other craft west bound. This one was much slower. It would pause briefly. It would also do a small circle and then proceed onwards. This took place over 5 minutes until it was out of my sight.
