Sphere over Hayward, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We were headed Northbound on Highway 880 at around 930pm on September 5, 2015 as I noticed about 8-10 strange lights in a zig zag formation in the sky as we approached the Winton exit. The lowest object was about 50 feet above the fence line and they were evenly spaced about 50 feet above one another. The strange lights were just hovering there with no movement and were circular colored orbs with no sound. (I thought someone was doing fireworks). As we continued to drive Northbound I could see the lights in the distance still in the sky as I looked back. There was heavy traffic being a Saturday night so I know we were not the only ones who saw this spectacular event. We decided to exit the freeway to turn back around to see more but and the lights had disappeared in less than five minutes. I am so disappointed I was too excited to grab my camera because it was definitely something out of this world.

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.

My wife and I witnessed 3 separate identical objects Sunday 3/22/2020 approximately 22:45 to 23:15 directly above San Francisco, Ca. 1 of the 3 objects stayed stationary the entire time and did not move while the other 2 slowly glided across the sky north to south and south to north crossing their paths above the stationary object. We have 3 separate cell phone videos containing about 15 minutes of footage using Samsung S10+ cameras. After about 30 minutes all 3 objects including the stationary object slowly headed out towards the open ocean due West to the Pacific Ocean. We would love to know what it was we witnessed.

High Altitude craft I thought was a plane flying in roughly a northerly direction until it split into two craft with each craft immediately and instantly changing direction. One craft proceeding roughly east while the other proceeding south. The direction changes were instantaneous with no long turning just immediately going in the other directions. No known craft can change direction like that at those speeds. I was in the Military and have witnessed a lot of military craft but these did impossible things and moved at amazing speeds.

I was wiping my car down by my detached garage and my telescope was set up just outside my garage door. Across from me, was another set of detached garages for the units in my condo complex. I noticed a object that was slowly flying at a distance but visible just above the top of the garages. I noticed a white light in front and a red light in the back with the red light elevated higher than the white light. I found that to be very odd. I went to my telescope and located the top of the end of the last detached garage and worked my way back till I found the object. The object was as clear as day. It was a saucer shaped object, very metallic looking. The reason the red light was elevated was because the saucer was flying at a angle, the front of the saucer was pointed downwards and the back of the saucer was upwards to give that look of how the lights looked. I stayed on it for about 6-8 seconds till the trees were in the way. It was the first time in my life I actually saw a flying saucer.
