Sphere over Marina del Rey/Playa Vista, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was on my balcony when I noticed a white translucent UFO orb. It then appeared to glow and float. I was able to film it until it eventually disappeared. There were a few others I was watching before that, but they would not show up on my iPhone camera. I uploaded the footage into iMovie. I was able to slow it down and zoom in. Not sure what it is, but I think its a good video. Below is the link I just created. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHLTUoF4ZXw&feature=youtu.be
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #121087). 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.
