Light over Willows, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was looking at the big dipper (N/Ne) and a light came into my vision from the west. It looked just like the ISS but a little dimmer. I watched it travel straight east until my view was blocked by trees in the distance. The even lasted approximately 20-30 seconds. I then went into the house to check the ISS sighting location for my town. The ISS is visible from my location at 3:39 a.m. tomorrow morning! This light was about 3/4 the illumination of the ISS. It also seemed to be in our atmosphere. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. 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.
