Cone over Yucaipa, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
On October 9, 2016, at 18:17hrs, I witnessed a dark, cone shaped object moving slowly in a South/South West direction. What caught my attention was that the object was moving in an oblique pattern, precisely changing direction along a straight path. I retrieved my binoculars, and observed that there was what appeared to be an antenna/sensor array protruding horizontally from the top of the object. I maintained visual contact until it was out of my range of sight @ 18:20hrs. I viewed this event from the North Eastern portion of Yucaipa, CA.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #130535). 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.

I was star gazing tonight at 9:20 and noticed 5 white orbs criss crossing the north Eastern part of the sky. There wasn't any sound, the white orbs were traveling at a high rate of speed then would disappear. I've seen the the white orbs numerous times over the past six months but this is my first reporting about it. A lot of Military planes and helicopter's fly through this area in the foothills of Yucaipa Ca just before Big Bear Ca. Is there a relation?
