Formation over Berkeley (above), CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
i was d home on I-80 west towards Berkeley. There's a big turn just passed the Carlson exit which gives you a view of Berkeley. Right then I saw the formation. It was about 25 degrees off the horizon, so pretty low. They were not higher than the red pulsating lights from the radio tower near by. Seeing the formation made me feel uneasy. I quickly got off the freeway at the next exit and drove down to see it from a safer viewing point. The formation by then had dispersed, but the orbs still seemed relatively close together, until they finally either went dim or flew away. There was no sound heard from these orbs and it was a clear night. I have a video which I will link later.

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.
