Chevron over Gerber, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I went out to let my dog out and as usual, I looked up at the stars. About 2:00 high and to the south, I saw a cluster of lights. I could see red and yellowish lights. The object was stationary. I wondered if I was seeing a space station or satellite, but it wasn't moving. So I went in and called my husband to see if he saw the same thing, I told him to look up to the south. He described the same thing I saw. So I wanted more confirmation and called my neighbors down the street. I asked them to both go outside and look to the south and let me know if they saw anything. They both described the same object and that it was stationary. I just went out and it is still there.

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.
