As reported

Oval over West Sonoma County, CA

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

Viewed from a motorcycle on The Bohemian Highway, at around four-thirty pm. The focus was on the sliver of Moon present in the day sky. An oval object, the size of a planet in the night sky, was traveling southwest across my field of vision. It was only noticed because I was looking at the moon. It was white ; the same shade as the moon. After approximately twenty seconds, it changed to a more southerly direction, where it proceeded until it was blocked out by the tall redwood trees, around two minutes later. There was no sound associated with the object that was detectible. The shape was unlike any aircraft I am aware of, and looked like a flying saucer or oval or cigar shape depending on how you discern that. My vision is perfect. It appeared like so many photos of these things to be an other-worldly craft.

Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #119165). 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.
