As reported

Formation over Chino, CA

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

I was walking at a park in Chino, CA. (south side of the park) and I saw to the North of me, pretty much over Ontario, CA several extremely bright orange lights moving slowly and low (relatively speaking). Three of these orange lights were in formation like a triangular formation with at least another two single orange lights near it. These lights began to ascend upward and toward an eastern direction with their lights becoming dimmer as well. I would then see another orange light also hovering low and from the North direction it too began to ascend. Finally, the last orange light came slow and low from the north as well. This one hovered for a minute or two and then also began to ascend. I was able to take some pictures with my LG Android camera (older version) the pictures do not do the object justice compared to what I visually saw. FYI: The orange lights were bright and amazing, meaning, nothing I have ever seen before color wise in the sky. For the record, the park where I was at west of it would be as if though you are headed to L.A.; East of it would be as if though you were headed to San Bernardino. South of it would be as if though you were headed toward Temecula or San Diego; and North would be as if though you were headed to Ontario, CA or Upland, CA or the Mountains such as Mount Baldy.

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.

Objects too far to distinguish but move around very fast and higher than commercial jets. Looks like a star at first but move around constantly.

Spotted triangle over the trees of Prado Golf Course. Triangle initially was tilted and then positioned flat over my vehicle. Dark smooth bottom with 3 lights under each corner. Lights were not bright. The triangle did not have sharp edges and it had some type of chrome light reflecting trim all around, but the rest was a very dark material. It was very slow and made absolute no noise. It glided away towards the dark area over the trees surrounding Prado Golf Course.

Lights on the ridge near KSOX Doppler Radar Tower and Black Star Canyon. Unusual lights high in the sky that seemed to be a small line of blinking lights. Viewed through 2nd story apartment window. Noticed it was not moving closer or further away as I was in the kitchen and where the lights were coming from were high at the very top of the ridge. Often just a single light but sporadic moments of multiple lights, sometimes fading in and out. One time 3 lights in equal distance from each other were twinkling on. Then later it was two lights but closer together. At the brightest intensity, it was quite bright. Not unlike when you'd see an airliner's lights directly on. Activity ceased around 11:35pm. The ridge is dark now.

I observed 3 orange lights traveling in a southeast direction three at a time. They traveled over Pomona and over my house in Chino. Aircraft from ONT were traveling West from ONT airport. The first 3 orange lights traveled about a half mile apart and disappeared in the low clouds. The next three traveled in the same path and the last one stopped overhead, hovered for about 10 seconds and disappeared in an upward motion.

I stood watching it for 10 minutes called my hubby he looked at it for another 15 mins, it was very bright at times but was very still and did not move. After watching it for a while, we both went to bed. Hour later my hubby got up to look at the object again and when he looked up at the sky, it was gone. Maybe it was nothing, maybe it was?

A few days ago I reported a possible sighting. However, after doing some research, I found out that the bright light may have been venues!Lol. Sorry about that.Thank you for having this website available, it's very helpful, informative and very interesting.
