Circle over Near Woody, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We saw a red glowing ball/circular object moving slowly over the hills! This is actually the second time I have seen it and it was approximately the same time of year only this time my hubby was with me and saw it too. They come the same time every year. It had no flashing or blinking lights(I know a helicopter or plane when I see it) it was solid red and it suddenly vanished. It was NOT a meteor as the red was deep and the object was never as intense as a meteor nor was it moving fast. It was a deep dark red color and huge. It was not a flare, known aircraft or meteor, as I am familiar with all! It's the same one I saw a year ago! I tried to get a picture but we turned down a different road and the object disappeared as I tried to get the picture through the car window! Ugh!!

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.
