Light over Fresno, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
It had just rained in the morning and now in the afternoon the sky was clear and without haze. The time was between 1600 and 1630 about an hour before the sun sets. I was in my backyard working in the garden when I happened to look up and see some seagulls circling above. Then further up in the sky a bright spot caught my eye. Then another one and another until there was a bunch of them. They were traveling northwest to southwest from my location. At first I thought they might have been airplanes but I could not make out any wings. They were very high in the sky so I thought maybe that might be why I could not see any. The light I saw from them appeared to be reflection of the sun from something metallic. Most were not blinking but rather shown steady as a reflection. However, there were a few in the center of the cluster that had a red glow that increased and decreased in intensity. They were not in any formation. They were scattered in an elongated bunch, some apart, some were close together. After a minute or so I decided to try and count them. I got to ten but started to lose the front ones flying into the southwest. I estimate that there were maybe 18 to 25. They looked like stars. Some brighter than others, but flying as a group.

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.

I was standing outside and looked up into the sky and seen this lights moving around like almost spinning I took out my phone and recorded what I seen but the problem is you have to slow it down to see them they where the same color as the sky and make it difficult to see unless you know what to look for there has been 5 times more after this that I have seen and recorded UFO/UAP in the sky when I look back and slow them done you can see things that are black shooting off of and object that pass the screen

After watching the video it seems to me the green object ejected three white objects. The green object seem to be frightened when an airplane flew by. [NUFORC annotation: Drone - Possible]

Every night for the past two months my family and I witness triangular shaped objects in the sky and also orbs that flash. The triangular shaped objects seem to move around in the sky with invisibility but you can still make them out. The objects seem to follow us around the yard.

So last night around 10:30ish pm, my husband and I heard a sound of an object that hit the ground in our enclosed laundry room that has French doors that lead to our back yard. We think nothing of it and don’t react until 3 minutes later when we hear it again. My husband goes to check and finds nothing out of place. Weird but not worrisome. Then about 11:10 pm I go to the kitchen to put something in the sink and when I look out my kitchen window, I see two red lights moving simultaneously to the left toward our tenants cottage. It startled me and I jumped back and looked again and it continued to move in the same direction. They appeared to be the size and circumference of a lid to a pickle jar. It was about 20 feet away from the window. We have four outdoor sensors but none of them went off. I asked our tenants if they were out with a flash light or thought it might be a lights from an emergency vehicle but it was two steady, circular lights. Not flashing, not blinking, not a stream. They were two lights in tact.
