Circle over Temple City/Arcadia, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
On Wednesday evening, I decided to water my lawn in the backyard. I sat down in my chair, which faces East, as my two labs were tracking the stream of water from the water hose in right to left direction. I glaze up into the heavens and directly to my left, North East direction, I noticed two bright stars, at the moment that is what I thought I was witnessing. Distances is hard to estimate, but if I were to guess, I would have use my thumb to equate about an inch of separation between each. Immediately I thought, "Damn it reminds me of Orion's belt stars, except one is missing." As I reached for my cell phone to record what I was witnessing, the two objects began to disappear like the Phoenix Lights incident. I was shocked and called my brother to describe my experience. It's now two in the morning and I am heading outside again with quality and strong binoculars made by Steiner. Thank for this opportunity, something I will cherish and has made me more vigilant.

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.
