Circle over Topanga, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Green lights hovering near mountain, zipping straight lines below aircraft, then zipped quickly out into thin air .... I did not witness it. My daughter told us her story and said it was loud and the lights were so bright that she was surprised we did not hear or see it . We live in a very quiet neighborhood and there are no streets, streetlights or noise around. Only noise is the cry of coyotes and hoots if owls and other wildlife .
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #130919). 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.
