Triangle over East Los Angeles, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
As we got close and kept looking south of the freeway the lights appeared to remain the same distance apart from each other. My wife saw it and since I was driving I asked her what it was. She got excited and took a picture, but she says it didn't come out, just a lot of smoke. She says they were floating above and not going down. I speculated flares on parachutes, but she said they weren't going down and seemed like they were slowly headed west. maybe flares on balloons? I don't know. But I was curious if anyone else saw something ! and maybe got a better look.

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.

The lights were steady but they change color. An airplane passed by and they started moving from side to side. At some point you can also see then turn into several more lights that all spin forming a circle. It was cloudy that day but you could still see them. I have two videos but too large to attach to the form.

The skies were super clear tonight. I saw 3 circular flying objects all of them were orange and hovering slowly moving east bound, almost looked like they were stopped because of how slow they were going. The whole object was lit up orange, then they disappeared into thin air, didn't fly away, they were just gone.

My two daughters and I were seeing my wife off to work, just a few moments ago. We were standing in our driveway, as she was backing up the car. As she left, my daughters and I turned around to see a silver oval object hanging in the air. It was low enough to be very visible. I could tell this was a rather large object and from where I was standing, it seemed to be hovering above the 710 freeway which is just a few blocks away from our house. The object hovered silently in the sky for about 5 min. and suddenly went straight up in the air at a super-fast speed. There was a mist or vapor that came off the object as it sped into the air, this vapor rapidly dissipated, leaving no trail. It made no sound. My youngest daughter was actually frightened and I had to calm her down. My eldest daughter thought it was pretty cool...as did I. My two neighbors who were standing above us on their second floor balcony saw the object as well. I asked them if they knew what it was, the Brazilian men said it was a UFO, and they used to see similar objects in Brazil.

During the Break we went outside to attempt to meditate on a sightings and bellow the cloud haze lowered this anomaly into view that everyone at the event got to witness as well as everyone else on Whittier Blvd in East LA that day that pulled over to see what we were all watching, i mean if you saw a group of 40 people looking in aw in the sky wouldn't you stop and take a look too? This Anomaly appeared as a dark object that first flew south then made a turn towards the west, a directional change showing us that it had a possible intelligent flight path. We suspect that the report may be a hoax. PD

I was outside my home enjoying the summer breeze until a teal colored object in the sky caught my attention. At first I thought it was
