Sphere over Big Pine, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Our group of five were camped near Big Pine, California. At 22:36 Hours on June 16, 2014, my brother and I were looking north east towards the White Mountains. We saw what at first appeared to be a satellite on a north to south orbit. We realized this white light was brighter than any satellite we had ever seen and appeared to be within the atmosphere. It followed the crest of the mountains. During the approximate 20 seconds the light was visible it travelled from White Mountain in our north east to a position due east before blinking out. We heard no noise signature coming from this light. It had no aircraft navigation lights or strobes. Witness elects to provide little contact information. 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.

Saw a blueish light caught my eye, looked again saw 3 lights coming and going over my location no noise, they changed directions. as they continued north up the valley, I call my husband who went outside to look, he said there were 4 lights still traveling.

I was startled of course so I looked everywhere and up to see a rocket like figure almost like a space ship, human of course, like the Apollo darting across the sky, but very bright and white, and much larger, it lasted only a half a second, I don't believe it's alien but extraordinary, living in this area we have many mililltary bases near by including china lake so I'm used to it but ((deleted)) it was cool!! We have changed the time of the event, to reflect a nighttime sighting. PD
