Light over Georgetown, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Small light, size of plane or star (about 40,000 to 50,000 feet up), moved quickly across sky, towards the east. It made a sudden sharp right turn, then a long streak movement down towards the horizon (tree line) past Volcanoville, CA.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #135707). 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.
