Sphere over Anderson, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
The 3 of us were at Walmart, and right next to Walmart is some sort of factory that always has white smoke coming from these giant pipes. I wanted to take a picture of the smoke in the sky, and so I did. But when I went back to review, in the picture it looked like some sort of orb of light was shooting out and away from the white smoke. There was another orb of light inside or behind the smoke, it looked as if it was not moving. There was also a beam of light coming from the top of the smoke. We suspect that the stripe of light that appears to be radiating from the top of a column of steam is a lens flare, caused by the camera's being pointed at the Sun, but we cannot be certain. PD

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.

Sitting on our front patio we saw a blue light that was about 4’ wide and about 8’ long move at our feet from left to right and moved about 20’ then gone. In the blue light it had several patterns that I could not detailed on. We have no traffic in area and we live at the end of a road next to a river area. No head lights could be seen from where we were.

Witnessed single point of very bright blue/white light. It was headed northeast at a constant speed then stopped for a moment then started motion again. I watched it for about four minutes until i lost sight of it, due to treeline

I am used to counting geese fly over so pretty sure of the number. Strange.

It was traveling at a good rate of speed, and then just evaporated and you couldn't see it any longer.
