Diamond over Sears Point Raceway, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Driving alone highway 37, between Marie inland and Sears Point archway at night. We are heading to Petaluma. We were right in the middle of the stretch and wife blood out window, looks like a big star. I glance over to look, too big to be a star, it's low, bright. I look again to see if it's moving. I look again and again to see if it has moved, no movement. My best guess is it was at 1000ft right over "Scaggs Island," it use to be a navy base there. Size was 3 times the brights star. Wife thought it looked like a cross. We continued to Lakeville Rd and got to the 116 turnoff before I said to look to the southeast and band it was still there right over the top of the mountain top. I could not believe it was still there. I look again and it's gone. I've see one back in 1975 above Sugarloaf orange/red spiraling and hopping, then still. The reflective color always stayed with me, like a an led kind of color, different.. So hard to believe anything these days of misinformation, but I know what's out here, more then people want you to know too.

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.
