Other over Orangevale, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
The object was inverted triangular in shape, but changed to a long [vertical] tail, almost like a comet would leave. It changed colors from red to purple to blue and green. It pulsed as it changed colors. It was in the North East sky, at approx. 30 degrees from the horizon. Our sky was overcast, and there was a very light rain. Local TV stations have received numerous reports, but are unable [at this time] to advise.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #125112). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
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.
