Circle over Moreno Valley, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
June 6, 2014 around 11:15 p.m. I witnessed two motionless circular orange lights in the sky. Occasionally, one of the circular lights would disappear as if it was being dimmed out (as if someone was dimming a light in a house). This event lasted for what seemed 10-15 minutes. I was walking into my kitchen to get a drink of water when I noticed two orange lights in the sky through my sliding glass door (leading into my backyard) that overlooks the city I live in. I was facing south while viewing these lights and what made them so interesting to me was they were not moving, completely stationary the entire time the event occurred. Initially, there were two orange lights and after a couple minutes one would fade out (again, as if being dimmed out). After about a minute, the light that originally faded out would reappear then the other light would fade out just like the first one did. The process of one of lights fading out and the other light reappearing happened three times. Each time the light wou! ld come back it would appear in the same spot that it was in before. This did not happen simultaneously, when the light would come back the other would stay from anywhere to 5-10 seconds before it would fade away. What also made this interesting to me was that it occurred near an air force base in my city. My house is located in a bit of a higher elevation from the rest of the city which gives me a panoramic view of the entire city and is roughly 10 miles from the air force base. These orange circular lights were not parallel or perpendicular to one another (making me believe they were two separate objects) and one was always sitting a little higher than the other. When the event ended, there was just a single orange circular light in the sky and it faded out just like it had been doing the previous times.

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.

Bright orbs coming off the horizon one after the other and seem to disappear after a minute.

47 year old male, born and raised in general area. Former army reservist, former police officer and correctional officer. My house is in an area that is elevated compared to the rest of the city, and my back yard can oversee the scope or span of several cities. I always take my dog outside for a potty trips, several times daily. I always look at the stars and scenery at night as I wait for my dog to finish her business. I am very familiar with the landscape of stars in relation to their position in the sky, as I stated I look at them daily at night. I had noticed three not seen before lights that appeared to look like stars in the sky. They looked like part of the star scape, but I felt they looked odd based off their formation and distance to one another. Visually they appeared to be in proximity of being over the unincorporated part of Riverside and the Lake Matthews area. Going back to factors that caused my attention, were that the 3 lights or star like ! lights, were equal distance to each other, but not that far apart for being stars. The 3 lights appeared to be part of the star scape at first glance. The lights were not only equal distance in width, but also on the same plane horizontally. That is probably what stood out to me most. They looked like 3 separate stars but strangely on the same plane. I asked my adult son to come outside and told him and pointed out, those 3 stars are never in the sky (as I look daily). We watched for 10 minutes. Nothing changed. I thought “okay” maybe they are stars and for whatever reason they are visible today and were not visible to me in the past. This was about 8pm “ish” at night. I then went inside. I came back out at about 830pm just to check on the 3 lights again. The 3 lights that had appeared to be stars, were now gone. All the other stars in the sky were still visible as normal, but the 3 star like lights had completely vanished. There was no change in weather etc. in that span o! f time. I brought my adult son back outside for confirmation. ! We both agreed that the 3 lights had vanished.

We were sitting outside in the driveway when we looked to the west skies and saw what I can best describe as a super fast shape shifting object that almost resembled an eye floaters. 3 of us saw this and a few minutes later we saw a bright light coming towards us that shot away with incredible speed.

My boyfriend thinks it could be a hot air balloon, but wouldn’t it be too cold this time of year that high?

I was in my backyard when I seen a circular red sold orb looking object no port or starboard lights no white light slowing approaching from south to north going toward San Bernardino. Then red solid orb then stopped and hovered about 1500 ft guessing above some houses for about 5 min, another known aircraft with port and starboard lights flying below but on the path of it went in front of it and the red orb lights flashed off and then on as if to indicate it wanted to be seen then after about 1 min it proceeded south bound toward Perris, CA, and then landed where it appeared to be around Lake Perris, CA, mountain area.
