The report, as filed
I was driving down from Lake Tahoe coming down the hill on highway 50 when off to my right I saw a orange light hovering above the tree line. So I exited off the right on a exit that leads to a golf course an I parked an my girlfriend an I got out to see what it was. To me it looked like the top of the tree was on fire but it was just glowing above the tree line. My first reaction was to get my phone out an film but when I clicked on the video to record my phone would not record an then all off the sudden my phone went to 95% battery life to 1% in just seconds and then it died. So while we were watching it, it shot a light down onto the ground in between the trees an when the light hit the ground it made like a round base circle of light on the ground that was multiple of colors (white, red, blue, orange and green). It was very weird. So my girlfriend got really scared because we had our 2 year old son in the back. He was starring at the lights an pointing. So she wanted to leave so we got in our car an it wouldn't start as if the battery on our car went out. It wasn't even turning over so I tried to turn my phone on to call my brother in law to give me a jump but it was dead so we tried her phone an that was dead too. As we were in the car the light or beam slowly went back up into the craft right as it was gone the light on the craft dimmed out an I could see the figure of it. It was a round disc that was that seemed to have 3 layers of it that were rotating right to left and left to right. My girlfriend was so scared that she grabbed my pistol, so I grabbed it an popped a shot off not towards the craft but on the ground an it's lights turned back on an right before it took off it was really weird because when I saw it there were no windows at all none. Then after I popped a warning shot I saw 5 windows an I could see the out line of multiple figures and then it just shot up into the sky heading towards Lake Tahoe towards heavenly ski resort. I have seen lights in the sky all the time but this was just very disturbing I don't get scared of anything an this had me a little frighten I guess that's why I popped a shot off. After the craft left out car started and we left back home with my girlfriend really scared. I just got my phone charged that's why I'm filling out the report so late. Please if anyone who was coming down the hill that night saw it too please report it or if you know what it was please post what it is on the nuforc website. I know there was 2 cars pulled over when I was leaving so please report it. Is this a new military aircraft? I would really like a answer please so I can put myself an my girlfriend's mind at ease. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he assures us that the report is sincere and accurate. We have requested that his girlfriend submit a report, as well. PD

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.

My neighbor (Jean Smith) and I were outside talking when a bright orb caught my eye. I immediately pointed it out to my neighbor and I began recording. This was not an airplane or satellite. The sky shows a couple airplanes far off in the distance. This craft wasn't binking nor was there any engine noise. It was moving in a smooth direction but every few seconds it would jerk. Almost looked like I was seeing a "glitch." Not like a anything I've ever seen. Just odd how it was rotating and moving. The craft was incredibly bright, it was oval shaped and was rotating, making it look round at first until you fixed your sight better on the object. I have two videos. I attempted to move myself to get a better view on the other side of the pine tree. I followed the object until it flew behind a nearby hill. I had another sighting in late November 2021 around 8:00pm. I again was talking outside with the same neighbor when I saw a green ball off light swoop down and vanish. I didn't know to report it. Tonight, she admitted, she also seen green orbs not long ago. Feel free to contact me if you should have any questions.

At the time of the sighting, I was living out of my car, parked outside of a friend's house. At night, I would often look up at the sky, for hours at times. This particular night, I was outside with three other friends, just talking and laughing. I look up and notice what I can only describe as an unknown flying object that appeared to be "swimming" across the sky. It was big, lengthy, and it had this Bioluminescent like blue to it. I immediately try to get the others to see it also, but they all seemed to either ignore me or not hear me calling for them. I called out for them again, and still nothing. At that point I looked back at the sky. There was something "calming" to it. It faded/disappeared into the night. Soon after, I went into my car to sleep. The following morning, I open my eyes to the sight of deer, across in the neighbors lawn. One in particular, was making eye contact before returning to eat from the lawn. That day was a very important day for me, and I had been anxious for this day to arrive for weeks. As for the sighting, I never mentioned it, in fact, this is the first time I'm sharing this story.

Started to video this very bright object that seemed to turn counter clockwise. It disappeared in front of our eyes.

We were driving on 5th St coming off of Fairview just as we got over the bridge just right after the old barn in the big field in the right of us there was a strange light in the sky just sort of hovering. It was not very big that we could tell and it seemed to be darker in color in the middle of it and then a sort of glow surrounding the glowing middle part. The middle was a sort of darkish orange yellow color and the soft glow on the outside was a bit lighter in color more of a yellowish tint. It just kind of hung there almost thought it was a street light, but no it wasn't because it just was hanging there kind of floating or hovering like moving slightly side to side but still remaining in one spot above the field. Unfortunately since we were driving, we could not say how long it had been there before we saw it, nor could we say how long it remained there either. It was a very beautiful soft glowing light. Hopefully will see it again one day!
