As reported

Oval over Antioch, CA

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

My husband and daughter and I were sitting in the backyard around 9:00, waiting to watch for the meteor shower, when a red light, traveling in the flight pattern (west to east), came up. My husband asked what it was, I thought it was a helicopter but it made no sound, and as it passed over our house, there were no blinking lights, and it appeared to be oval in shape. A few seconds later, another light appeared, this time green. This repeated over a 20 minute period when another red light appeared then a white light appeared then another red. These lights moved in the same way a helicopter would and seemed about the same distance from the ground. Again, all lights were silent. We saw 1 red, and 1 green light about 2 nights before this, as well. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Good Morning Mr. Davenport, The time was 2100 hours. The objects appeared to be moving from west to east with a local flight pattern. They seemed to be about the size of a helicopter. There were no noticeable winds or changes as they went by and they were silent. I will try to get further information. They were bright like LED lights but they were not moving like balloons or anything. They moved similarly like a helicopter would and at about the same altitude. Very consistent. I hope this helps. I will forward further information as it is obtained. ((END ADDENDUM))

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.

Walking my dog in school baseball field a bright white orb it looks like a floating planet catches my eye I look up and it's on top of my head I start flicking my lighter it stops hovers on top of my head with no sound bright now turns bright red this is at 9:00 at night it notices me it stops for about 3 minutes it's just floating over my head I'm watching it it's watching me and then it starts to float North towards Sacramento county then I go into the light it comes back towards me and it hovers over my head again bright red then it turns back to White then a jet started coming so the Red orb goes to the South and turns green stops and turns bright red and starts floating towards the Antioch bridge but now it's all red with green on the bottom and it floats towards Travis Air Force Base in Fairfield but right before this I seen bright white orbs they look like floating planets a planet floating brighter than anything in the sky get bright but when I show that I see them with my flashlight or get under a street light they stop and turn their lights off like a child then disappear then reappear and keep floating every evening I walk my dog for the last 3 years and every night I see the same things floating orbs brighter than anything in the sky Orange orbs that float on top of my house stop I'll get my neighbors and it'll just sit on top of the house and about an hour they float away and sometimes White orbs when I'm walking will follow me to my house but after a while you get used to it even people in my neighborhood when I'm walking say to me look up and see that in the sky and I say yes and they say the same thing we see them everynite and one neighbor pointed it out to me one night and it stopped right on top of the school and me and the neighbor watched it as it eventually floated away but she said that they follow her too Antioch is a hotspot but tonight it was different it was so bright bright red and a dark black sky and when it turned white you didn't know the difference between a star or a planet but when it turns back to red you knew it wasn’t normal then it noticed the jet turned white and floated South opposite direction stopped turn green then back to red floating towards the river so far it's the best thing I seen until tomorrow I don't understand how every night no one else sees these bright things floating hovering in Antioch right next to Travis Air Force Base and nothing is ever recognized on the news nothing I mean these unidentified hovering objects in the they're floating in the airspace that jets are in and Travis Air Force Base should know these things are floating right over there base I've seen so many everynite for the last 10 years I am not shocked scared or even pay no mind now for the fact that I know them and they know me they know where I live they know I walk my dog and I think that they know I am no one to fear but what I seen tonight was worth letting the world know that Antioch is the place to see things I was never going to talk about everything about Antioch but what I seen tonight it should be known

We seen three lights moving in fast formations above the apartment across from us. They were at first in a straight line but very quickly moved into a triangle formation. They were moving very fast in perfect formation of a triangle. The triangle was spinning in a circle but staying in unison almost perfectly from what we could tell. Then the lights went dim until my camera could not register them and the night sky went black and about two minutes ago they reappeared as I'm typing this . There's no way a plane or helicopter could move like what I seen . I have a short video too but it isn't very clear. The light just went out out of nowhere one at a time . Idk how to explain it .

1st saw it above the delta slowly moving over old downtown. About 2/3 miles away it slowly moved towards our location as it climbed up above us. No sound, no lights but visible because the outline blocked out the starlight. We could make out the depth too incredibly we saw no windows or beings. It hovered above us maybe 3 or 4 minutes then shot straight up quicly?

They were moving from West to East. In all there were probably 15-20 pairs before the phenomena ended.
