Oval over East Hemet, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I took my dog out in the backyard about 5:45pm and look up to the West. I saw a bright star like craft get very bright and exploded over the hills in Val Vista. Then two large fog circles appeared on very large and a smaller one around the bright light. Then like a fire cracker the dot disappear but the circles remained into a large blue foggy oval shape. The blue foggy shaped stayed for over 20 mins and finally dissipated. US Navy missile launch. PD

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.
