Formation over Hayward, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My husband was first to observe this Saturday evening, we proceeded to the end of our drive way to get something from the car, then looked up north south to the sky because he thought oddly that the stars looked really close. Not only because they were all visible but because they are an actually aircraft in the sky flying preparing to land, which is not unusual for where we live we always have planes flying over our house! We all know what they look like and sound like the Oaklnd Airport is 10 minutes from our house and hayward airport is closer just a 1/2 mile. He then called my father-in-law out and to his disbelief he said these are not planes there lights are different. Then they called both of us out, when my mother-in-law and I proceeded outside we were both stunned!! I immediately thought these are UFO I had seen some strange videos but I never thought anything of it, just people messing around on the Internet. But these were hovering in a formation 8 of them to be exact, if you could connect the dots they would have made a horizontal zig zag they were also flickering but not a candle, but as if it was rythmic, Slow as if it was a heart beat, they all were the same color a orange/red and circler!!! They then began to dispate one by one up toward the atmosphere then leaving two which filed into formation right underneath one another. Moving one from the left and the other from the right!! They looked as if they were sliding into formation and as this was going on there was a plane like I said traveling inward toward the airport!! So we all knew these were no way planes by any means!! And if this was a hoax someone was playing then it was a pretty damn good one, fooled me!! Then finally the top one dissipated upward and then followed by the second right into the atmosphere!! I'm literally still in shock as I'm writing this and I'm a very logical person by every sense of the word. I need proof or my own eyes and I know I'm not! crazy!!! What I saw was exactly how I saw it!!

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.
