Other over Palm Spings, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
The object is boomerang/crescent-like in shape and was perhaps 500’ to 700’ away about two tall tree heights above the ground in the next block east of me. It moved north to south at about the speed of a soaring hawk. I would say that the wingspan was at least 30’ wide. I only saw the object for about 8 seconds or so. It was dark against a dark but slightly back-lit sky. It was as though the object was operating in a camouflage manner as no light was seen other than the circles on the bottom either dimly reflecting street light or possible being ultra dimly lit. The circles were in a row on the bottom in a variable arc from wing to wing. I marveled as to how the craft blended in with the night sky/stars.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #121478). 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.
