Oval over Kings Beach, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Object was elliptical in shape. Very bright white light shaped in the same design as the Ying & Yang symbol, but NO black, only WHITE. Two strobe lights, one at the 6 o'clock position, the other at the 9 o'clock position, started to blink after observing for 20 min.. Object first observed by myself and one other person, then two more people came by, but were not very interested. Object first observed in the Eastern sky, approximately 45degrees above horizon. Its size compared to the waxing gibbous Moon, three days from full Moon, was approximately 1/10. Object seemed to be stationary for 10 minutes, but then moved very slowly to the southern horizon, then moved as slowly to the northern horizon. After observing for 30-45 minutes through 100mm binoculars, object slowly faded out of sight. Object could be seen by the naked eye, but only looked like a bright white light. Extreme clarity when viewed through binoculars.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #134456). 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.
