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 walked outside to let my dog out and looked up in the sky. The sky was dark but I saw a circle/dot that kept moving around. I watched it for a few minutes and realized it wasn’t a plane or a star. I took a video with my phone and tried to zoom in as much as possible.

Oakley, California, Saturday, December 19, 2020 @ 22:35 hrs. (Pacific) – An Uber driver traveling east on highway 4 bypass, witnessed 15 bright amber lights flying west in formation at about 1000 feet elevation over the city of Oakley, California. They were magnificent as they flew in a pattern of a long string of amber lights, one after the other, at close proximity to the driver within a mile away. They came as close as a half mile away. The string of lights were separated by a trio of lights in a triangular pattern, with 6 lights to the front and 6 lights trailing. All the lights were identical bright amber. There were no red or green directional lights, no red beacons, and no bright landing lights. They kind of had the luminosity of military flares in the night sky. But, these weren't flares, as they were clearly lights. They moved with the behavior of small airplanes. But, if these were planes, why so many, flying in close formation, without directional lights? As the driver turned south on the freeway, they could be seen in the rear view mirror turning to the NW, still in formation. The sighting lasted about 30 seconds. Can anyone explain what they might have been?

A very fast and bright light was moving rapidly across the sky so I thought it was a shooting star.. then I noticed the light get brighter and stay still for 30 seconds when the light got even brighter and it zoomed across the sky, dimmed in brightness, turned red and disappeared. Best day ever

Large square shaped. several cities must of seen this. it was invisible and like breathing it seemed to come in and out of visibility. Like it was cloaked but i could see it every other second. the middle opened and a triagle shaped ufo came out and flew south then one came out and went north and one more came out and went straight up. i was alone in my backyard. three yrs ago i went to the drive in, that is also in this same area. during the movie a ufo slowly flew right over our car and the whole drive in. i clearly saw 2 human shaped e t's. my husband said it was my imagination as he saw nothing. i listen to coast to coast radio nightly. thank god for this conformation i recieved and am so grateful for. you see several days afterwards i was listening to friday night open lines. on coast to coast and a man called in. he said he was at the blank drive in. which he did say the name and everything on the radio. he said he was with his wife and brother and sister in law. he began to tell the same thing i saw. he said everything i saw clearly and exactly as i saw it. the same colors and the two "people" in side the large glass window.. i remember george noory saying that their is a military sight . near by. and that maybe it was a secret testing going on. i tend to agree. because every part of the ufo seem to have worldly parts lights windows and human lookers inside who were clearly wearing masks.
