Unknown over North Sacramento, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Then shot left and disappeared and or faded in to the distance n west of hwy 80 Sacramento, CA. It had a red n star look and 3 times bigger. Probably a flare but no smoke trail and it was moving horizontally. Are there any larger roman candle type fireworks at 11;32 somebody at least tell me red flares all have smoke trails.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #115436). 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.
