Light over San Anselmo, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I am filing this report because I met 2 other witnesses and engaged in a conversation with them as we witnessed multiple yellow gold orange lights in various locations in a cluster or group hovering or floating about in the night sky. These "lights" would hover at treetop or hilltop level in the southeastern sky coming up and then dipping below the treelines basically coming out of nowhere. There would be 2 or 3 lights and then there would be 6 to 10 objects a few seconds later in various locations. I saw a string of 7 objects line up in a row at one point. This is the second time I've had 2 other witnesses with me lately observing this activity. The other time was on 9-30-14, same 2 witnesses same activity and same mysterious yellow gold lights. I am baffled as to why there are not more reports or other people noticing this although 2 reports were filed on the night of 11-10-12 that are quite interesting in this same area. These sightings are occur! ing up to several miles away which also include San Rafael, Ross, Larkspur etc. I will add that the 3 of us met while out walking the dog and agreed that we were witnessing something unusual.

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.

This sighting happened in broad daylight blue skies. Two huge yellow gold objects were hovering side by side about 30 feet away from each other. The sighting was already in progress when I arrived. I watched these 2 huge star like objects for about 7 to 10 minutes until one of them "turned off" and the other continued to hover. The other object started to strobe and slowly move to the west. These objects looked semi-transparent and looked more like floating sheets than any kind of structured object. I have seen so much orb and UFO activity in this month of February that it would take several reports to even talk about it. The multi-colored orange and blue and yellowish green lights were seen on 2-08,2-09 and 2-15 for long extended periods of time hovering at tree top level in horizontal lines and V shaped formations. A second sighting on this 2-22 night occured at approximately 9 P.M. over this Christmas Tree Hill area of Corte Madera with V formatio! ns and 2 bright gold objects side by side for several minutes just like the 6 P.M. sighting.

I was seeing multiple formations of swarming darting objects that were sometimes hovering and then would disperse like a swarm of bees. I took a walk closer to this activity when I ran into 2 other people that were also watching the lights. The 3 of us then witnessed a tight group of 7 to 8 objects at pretty close range. These were the yellow-white foo fighter type lights as seen in clusters frequently around this area. After this night within 24 hours we have this record shattering heat wave in San Francisco on 9-01 and 9-02 etc.

I come walking down the street and turn the corner and immediately notice approximately a dozen bright yellow lights hovering about a half mile to a mile to the east of me. These lights are all at eye level and are hovering in a large group over the city of San Anselmo centered around the Red Hill area. Behind this group there is a V or triangular shaped formation of 3 lights that look just as if they came out of a welder's torch or a soldering gun.I walked over to talk to a woman that was looking through the trunk of her car and said do you see what is going on over here. She joined me for about 15 minutes as we observed this group of brightly lit objects. She was very concerned and totally amazed at what she was seeing and had never seen anything like this before. There were two large objects about 200 yards apart with approximately 7 to 10 objects in between these 2 large objects. It looked like these objects were swarming in between these 2 large brightly lit objects like bees swarming around a hive. All of these lights looked the same except they varied in brightness. These objects looked like they wanted to be seen and were totally cluttering up this small area with no attempt to cloak themselves or become dimmer. This concerned neighbor and I were looking at this object on the far left of this formation for 10 to 15 minutes and could not make out any specific shape to it, except to say that it had streams of light coming of it, and that it looked like an oblong "lava lamp". Finally this object on the left began to strobe or blink and started heading southwest toward Mt. Tamalpais area with all the other objects following. My neighbor said this was going to be bothering her and she was going to be thinking about this all night long and was going to be upset if this was not talked about on the news.I told her I witnessed a crazy amount of activity the night before but the activity was farther away and out over the bay near San Rafael.

I just got out of my car at my brother's house which is at the top of a hill in a residential area. My brother confirmed that I was facing North. I saw a white fireball move very quickly across the sky. It appeared to travel directly East to West. I can't say how high up it was, but it was definitely lower that a commercial airplane.

I was on top of one of the foothills of Mt. Tamalpais from 7:40 until 8:30 P.M. When I reached the top of this hill, I witnessed several bright yellow gold objects-the color of "fire burning in your fireplace hovering" above one of the hillsides to the southeast lighting up super bright then dimming down changing in shape and size looking somewhat triangular or diamond shaped. Ten minutes later, at 7:50 P.M., in as long as it takes to count from 1 to 18 I counted 18 lights-objects literally swarming through this entire area. This is the most objects I've ever seen all at once and they were hovering at treetop level, hovering above nearby hills, suspended over the S.F. Bay off in the distance, crisscrossing each others' paths, and nearly colliding into each other and hovering and approaching other objects to make triangular and rectangular formations in the sky etc. I don't think you can blame the Blue Angels for this because not one of these objects was making a sound. For a couple of minutes it looked like a total invasion until it thinned out a bit. I was wondering what would happen if an actual plane came through the area when all of a sudden at about 8:05 P.M. a plane came through from the northwest heading right through all this activity. The plane was flying about twice as high up as all these other objects and flew over a cluster of about 6 to 8 of these lights and 3 of these lights were forming a triangular shape above one of these hills near the water between San Quentin and Corte Madera area. I had binoculars and you could see the whole plane and hear it. In the 50 minutes of continuous sightings of these other silent objects I could not identify any specific shape except somewhat disc or oblong teardrop shape maybe diamond or triangular. I did see a couple of strobing red disc like objects but 90 percent of these objects look the same -bright yellowish gold orangish lights.
