The report, as filed

Second, I'm doing this because I believe what I experienced was real. My girlfriend and I stayed at a BnB in the Yosemite area in CA this weekend. On the first night at exactly 3am, I woke up, feeling like I was being watched. Approximately 20 minutes later, the cabin started to vibrate. I'm a combat veteran and I've never been that terrified ever. The following night, again 3am, same thing. 20 minutes a vibration. No sounds, no lights. But the same terrified feeling. I don't get scared easily and I believe what I can see. This experience was a horrible feeling. My girlfriend doesn't remember me waking her up, she doesn't remember the vibration, nothing... I'd also like to add that I did not visually see anything. Something was watching us. Source of the report elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

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.

Groveland, CA

I was outside early to let the dogs do their business. I saw some 'stars' that seem to be moving, so I was watching and making sure it wasn't an illusion. We've seen these lights a few times now and didn't get excited. We are just on the California side of the Sierras and I have assumed that these must be some sort of test craft. I was looking in a north-east direction at them (towards Nevada) when the sky lit up. Suddenly there was a "train" of lights. It started in the western sky behind me and then travelled east towards Nevada. There was some distance between each light and although they were travelling in a straight line, I'm pretty sure they weren't all always going the same speed. They were uniformly going in a straight line, but like traffic on a one way road, they weren't all going the same speed. I'm guessing here, but the line at it's longest must have been over 50 miles long - it spanned the entire sky west to east. NO sound whatsoeve! r. The lights travelled like a train and when they were over the peak of the Sierras they headed DOWN and promptly disappeared. This may be unrelated, but shortly before all this occured, when I went outside with the dogs, I noticed that our solar house battery lights flashed really strangely for about a minute. Afterwards, we checked the outside security cameras to see if they caught anything but they were all aimed too low. Then it occured to us that it may have been picked up on a public web cam. The only cams like this I could find that would allow me to "playback" in time were some set up by PG&E (power company) to monitor for fires. I quickly found footage of the event. Unfortunately, the video is timelapsed, so the 5 minutes or so of this event is quite abreviated, but it shows the lights and the time/date info is all there. I checked Mufon and other people elsewhere described the same thing on the same morning. After the lights disappeared I saw the normal flashing lights of some sort of high-up jet plane flying east to west. Anyway I have the timelapse video and would be happy to share it.
