Light over ((Location no revealed by witness)), CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I have videos of something I saw in the sky. (Not giving away where I live) I'm not quite sure on how to describe the phenomenon but it seemed like an orange strange light in the sky. My father says it could be a comet (he did not see it, he only saw a video I recorded. However, the video does it no justice) It was pretty eerie, not a comet nor did it appear to be the moon. It was an orange light and as the video progressed, it disappeared. I was watching it from my car window and I have no explanation. There's zero reports on it and I find that strange. Anyone else see it? I doubt it was the moon being covered by clouds because it was just so strange and looked so weird. Please, give any possible answers!

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.
