Teardrop over West Hills, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
West Hills, California, Thurs., 1028 pm, 08-28-2014. Sitting in my back yard looking to the north in about the 10 o’clock position. Two frosty white streaks appeared. Just for a fraction of a second they seemed to be falling vertically downward. Then stopped and stayed stationary. After 4 to 5 seconds they disappear quickly. They were right next to each other and perfectly parallel to each other in a vertical orientation of 90 degrees. Each were slightly wider at the bottom than the top kind of resembled what you could describe as a comet tail and were identical in shape and length.. I estimate that they were 20 to 30 mile away.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #113057). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
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.

Video attached. Bright single, oval object appeared from nowhere with a slight mist or vapor which dissipated quickly. Object quickly travelled east to west horizontally. Eye witness says that the object came to a full stop. I was called out to see it, but the object was no longer there just a few seconds later. The sky was clear of clouds. There was no sound.

Fireball shaped objects( very bright fire like color) took off around Simi valley/ Santa Susanna field Laboratory area and flew toward Northeast with the speed around 200-250 km/h increasing altitude until disappearing. From the visual appearance and the distance, the size of the objects could have been from 1 to 10 m in diameter. We were able to observe objects take off and steadily traveling and increasing altitude up to about 3-4km over thousand oaks/ Malibu mountains area, gradually disappearing from the visual contact. Could have been a fire balloon/light festival, but I could not find any information in the media related to the event at that date.

Seen above Woodland Hills, California. Viewing the front of my house which faces south west on my Nest Security Camera via the Nest Hub Monitor, I see an oval shaped Blue light in the night sky above Woodland Hills, California. Only visable with security camera. Was not able to see it with the naked eye.

At approximately 9:20 (sic. p.m), as i was getting out of my car i saw what looked like a bright star slowly move across the sky heading south/east, before disappearing at a blink of an eye. Moments later another light that resembled a star, was slowly moving from south to north, it was slowing down then speeding up and it appeared to be wobbling. My guess they were at least ten miles above earth.

I was looking to the north from my back yard, in West Hills California, a little bit above the tree line, I estimate 25 to 35 miles out, I noticed a light that I didn’t really think much of at first. But then I realized it was moving around odd way and it was a constant light that was not blinking off and on, it was bright and greenish in color. It moved up then down, then to the left then, up again, then to the right, then down, then to the left, then down, then to the right, then up. These up, down and side to side maneuvers were all sharp right angles. Then it disappeared as if the light just turned off.
