Circle over Long Beach, CA

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

The report, as filed

On the evening of March 20th, my wife and I had an incredible UFO sighting that I posted about here. Last night we had another UFO sighting. Same part of the sky - south of Long Beach, CA, over the Pacific. At about 10:05 PM, I went outside to sky-gaze as I often do. It was fairly overcast. The Moon, which sat high in the WSW sky, was shrouded by the low clouds and cast a diffuse glow. A couple of minutes later, due south and about 30 degrees above the horizon, another diffuse light appeared behind the clouds. It was white and looked similar to how the Moon looked, but it was a little smaller in diameter. It gradually grew brighter, and as it did, two other similar looking diffuse white circles of light appeared, forming an equilateral triangle. At this point I yelled for my wife, called her on my cell, and knocked on the pane glass living room window to get her attention. She came running out with her i-phone and saw the triangular formation just before it faded out. As those three lights faded out, a brighter and less diffuse white light between where the other three lights were appeared and grew brighter, casting a bright glow against the surrounding clouds. All of the lights were perfectly stationary. She managed to catch that final light on video before it faded about 30 seconds later. All of these lights were perfectly stationary. I stayed out for another hour, but I didn't see any more.

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.

Long Beach, CA

At 2:33 am pst, as i was going to my bathroom on the second floor, i looked out my window saw a ( fire ball ) with trailing red and orange flames moving from WNW to SE. I thought it might be an aircraft with flaming engine or maybe some kind of space junk, i estimated my sight was 45 degrees horizontal plane. This object was moving in a horizontal direction for about 11/2 minutes before the flames went out. After the flames went out there was a small bright dot with a faint glow behind it that continue for 3-5 minutes moving SE. But after this, a lower orange ball of light appeared well below about 10 degrees horizontal plane, that appeared to circle for 30 seconds and disappeared.

Moved fast, not in a straight line. Was over my backyard for about 20 minutes before it started moving forward. Very very strange. I’m not sure if these pictures or videos uploaded correctly

It was nearing sunset and the moon was nearly full and out in the sky. I saw a cylinder shaped craft cross in front of the moon and travel south towards Seal Beach, California…until it disappeared into the midair. There were no clouds in the sky. It was moving very slow. It had no lights flashing on it. It had no sound. It had a shadow on the bottom and was very shiny on top. It was right above Long Beach Harbour in, Long Beach, California.

For initial description, please see the pictures. There is also an impressive red light activity around this UFO seen on the video I took of the sightseeing ( it’s 2 min and 45 sec long ) but which I am unfortunately unable to download on your site ( it’s a video using my IPhone ). However, I can certainly send it to you via email, should you find, from the pictures I downloaded that they appear to be potential UFO material.
