Teardrop over Anahiem, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I do not have a word processor. Looked up at sky viewed a teardrop shape bright red object that was slow moving and very close. This object was dropping what looked like shooting star material from its bottom. It came close dropped 4 times material, then it started heading east ascending higher and quickly vanished from sight. I'm still wondering exactly what it could be, to slow moving to be a falling star or meteor the movement itself was not that of a fireball plane helicopter or drone. One things for sure it was beautiful. I can only hope others also viewed it and NASA can describe exactly what it is or was. Thank you (location Ball road between Knott ave and Western)

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.
