Other over El Segundo, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was in a vehicle heading south on Sepulveda Boulevard when we stopped at a red light. I was in the passenger seat and I looked up at the brilliantly lit skyscrapers on the next block. It was then that I observed a pitch black flying wing shaped object swoop across my field of vision. It emitted no lights and was moving quite rapidly into a headwind. I did not see it long enough to get a size but it was approximately forty to fifty feet off the ground and it crossed a sixty foot space in less than three seconds. It was only visible for a couple of seconds before it vanished into the night sky. It was so black as to be completely invisible once it was no longer silhouetted against the building.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #126965). 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.

At approximately 7:10 PM I had a sighting of an Invisible Silent Aircraft (UFO) over LAX on 15 Oct 2014. It had two white flashing lights (NO red lights like all other aircraft in area had) the distance of approx.. 300 ft. between them. I could compare it to the size of the 747 aircraft –which I could plainly see (with the airline paint color scheme too) - taking off beneath it. The flashing lights were at first just hovering over the airport runway (just west of the control tower) at a height of 1000 Ft, with the aircraft landing and taking off beneath it. I at first thought it was a couple of police or news helicopters there, until I saw that there was NO RED flashing lights that all aircraft are supposed to have. Then the lights started to slowly move; one behind the other; in a eastern direction to where Sepulveda Blvd. goes under the runway thru the tunnel. Then they moved in parallel to each other, and flew south over Sepulveda Blvd. at about! 100 ft. until it was near the intersection of Rosecrans. There was NO SOUND; there was NOTHING VISIBLE between the lights; but I could plainly see that the lights were fixed to a solid object. At that point it continued to slowly move; one light behind the other; in a eastern direction again until I could not distinguish it among the line of aircraft lined up to land at LAX.
