Rectangle over East Oroville, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I am a disabled Veteran, with severe orthopedic issues. I am often outside in the spa, at all times of day and night. On this particular night, I was star gazing sitting in the spa, when I craft, that very similar to the type you'd see in the Predator movies, flew right over the house. It came from the direction of Sacramento and I could see it coming from miles away. It literally looked like the scene in Predator, every time they get ready to come down from the ship, in the movie. As a propulsion engineer, the first thing I looked for was some kind of propulsion signature from the rear of the craft, but there was nothing and no noise!!! No noise at all!!!

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.
