Light over Templeton, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
It’s 6pm Saturday November 7, 2015 in rural Templeton, CA. I arrived home and stopped at the bottom of my driveway to manually put my truck in 4 wheel drive so I can drive up to the house without spinning my tires on the dirt driveway. Just as I locked the hubs on my front wheels I noticed a very bright light above the home across the road from me. It looked like a huge comet with a large blueish tail and a huge funnel shape fan head with a bright light at the apex. It was traveling from the southeast toward the west. The widest side of the funnel took up about 20 degrees of sky which was as wide as my hand held at arm’s length with fingers up. It was traveling parallel to the horizon. By the time I reached the top of the driveway and called my wife to come and look, the lights had faded and the bright point of light in front had vanished, however the tail was still glowing blueish white but seemed out of focus and was fading away. The entire incident took about 10 minutes and the tail remained for about another 5 or so. I’ve never seen anything like it. 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.

I was in my bedroom at 12:54 and I heard a strange noise outside, so I look out my blinds and I see a rectangle with strange light on it like a circuit board, not that long from this event I heard some kind of air crafts and I saw a military titan plane from my window.

Standing outside in the afternoon when I heard a buzzing. I work at a military base and know what the electric UNmanned aerial vehicles sound like- a high pitched buzzing. Saw the triangle craft fly low and slowly overhead maybe under 500 feet altitude. Flew slowly along well established flight line from east to west. It was a rounded edged triangles the same shape as the TR-3B (Google it), though without the central light. What I saw looked like a small duty aircraft in similar shape as the Boeing X-48- it even sounded similar thought it's underbelly was white and grey. It had lights like a normal aircraft. Everyone thinks I'm crazy but I know what I saw. Perhaps it was an RC remote controlled craft. Please post of you saw something similar in the vicinity. My dog was out with me but had no abnormal response. Thank you
