Light over Sun City, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I like to float on my back at night and watch the sky. It just so happened that I was watching something that looked different. All of a sudden, it looked like it turned over and had a bright light. It is hard to explain what I saw. Never saw anything like this before. I asked my friend if they saw that and they said no. I remained in the pool staring at the spot I saw it and it was about 10 minutes later a big blue/green ball with a tail came out of the exact same spot as the light I had saw a few minutes earlier. It was in the east sky. Sorry it is just hard to explain what I saw.

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.

I was sitting on my back patio and noticed a bright light in the south/east sky travelling horizontally from south to north. from the distance, It looked to be about the size of a nickel. We are about 6 miles from March AB and I've watched fighter jets fly over often. I would estimate This light to be travelling at least twice the speed. It took about 10 seconds to go from the southern horizon to straight in front of me and, without stopping or slowing down, it made a 90 degree change in course, accelerated instantaneously, and was out of sight within one second.
