Chevron over Venice, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Two sets of 5-7 lights flying at 2 heights within 15 minutes of each other. 1st was flying about 5 miles from LAX and above Santa Monica Airport - flying paralelle to beach - flying lower than commercial airlines, but slightly heigher than planes/jets taking off from Santa Monica airport. 2nd set was seen flying perpendicular to the first vessel, but slower and much lower - under 2000 feet and headed directly out over into ocean. Speed was slower than most planes from Santa Monica airport. Looked like the vehicles were white or metalic/see through reflecting light from city. Very smooth flight. NO noise at all, which would never happen. I own DJI drones and observes planes all day from LAX and Santa Monica airport, but this was NOT the case. No sound and flight looked Delta formation and could have been changing shapes to thinner as it picked up speed to leave the area into the black over ocean. This happened between the first 1-2am before daylight savings time. The sky was clearest in months after a MASSIVE electrical storm the night before.

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.

On the evening on 8-2-23 as I took a typical fresh air break whenever, at approx. 20:20hrs & as I sat on a long bench facing N.E. in direction did the clairvoyant familiar 'ping!' of "hey?" presents itself to me yet again. I whip my head around to the left, which would be looking N.W. and instinctively upwards and there is a single odder than usual glowing spark. Odd why? It was effectively IMO 'zooming' into or 'looming' into view, latitude/longitude at that precise moment of looking up. It had trajectory it clearly was coming in from somewhere to somewhere. And wow! I did just see that, huh? I lingered my gaze upon it as it oh, so, very slooooooowly crept to stand still. Executing incredibly subtle movements and boy howdy. Have they got a speed control device on it or what? Wow...At an altitude, mostly overhead now. Made no sound. Huh... It remained static for the remainder of that fresh air break and I headed back inside the communal living area. Not so much stunned yet, perplexed. As that was an entirely new experience with UAPs for me... whatever it was?, odd best describes it. *Took a three hour nap and went outside upon waking to look at that point in the sky. Gone. Not a planet. Loomed large in presence that high in the nighttime sky. When it presented itself... Literally felt mass or 'vast oddness' from whatever it was/is/isn't - end

Watching the stars one evening and observing to the E - N.E. - altitude? Very very high and I did observe a 'blue-ish' light in the nighttime sky. Very peculiar this blue dot behaves. Ascends and ascends to disappearing/vanishing from viewable sight up into the further layers above. I was fairly gobsmacked by this display. There has been discussion of travel back and forth from the moon prior. - fin

Looking up high from the loading dock of the Design Center in Venice (homeless at the time) towards the E - N.E. did I view a blue-ish light, dot, spot in the nighttime sky. And this blue-ish light ascended up to an even higher level beyond where the sky changes colours to atmosphere and before my eyes as I tracked its ascension it dissolved, achieved such an altitude it left earthly confines IMO. *Possible Earth/Moon transportation vehicle? **If this is a duplicate report please disregard...
