Light over Orland, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
What we saw was not the pictures showing. We saw what appeared to be clouds or some type of fog spinning in a circle. In pulsating in and out. With the picture shows in the video are eight lights in the sequential order, as if there entering the mortuary across the street from my house. We stood there and watch them for approximately 5 minutes walked underneath them to see if we could see beams of light coming from the top bottom or sides. We saw nothing like that they appeared to be individual lighted crafts of some type.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #138025). 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.

Me and my dog were asleep when one of these creatures bit my dog which woke me up. So I grabbed my hatchet and started defending myself from creatures, but my hatchet wouldn't even hurt them at all. Then the cops showed up and arrested me. When they put in the car. These creatures showed themselves to the cops. My dog proceeded to protect herself and the officers from these creatures. And the last thing I remember was these creatures were bitting me and the pain was so bad I past out. I know that the cops had chest cameras on. And would cover this up because their shady.

I was outside looking at the clear winter night sky, all the stars. Suddenly, I noticed a bright pinpoint of light moving across the sky, like a star that decided to move, only brighter. They had no flashing lights like our aircraft. Their flight path was unusual because air traffic in this area is always north-south, and these were moving southwest to northeast and quickly. They appeared in the sky near Orion (from my point of view) and vanished once they were across the sky between the handle of the Big Dipper and the horizon. As soon as the first one made it to that point, the next one came into view by Orion. They flew in succession like this, one after the other, until nine had passed by. This is the most I have seen during a sighting. Pretty amazing!

My husband and I were doing some rock hounding at Burris Creek and I had a strong urge to take some photos of the sun. I took about 25 shots and noticed in one frame a large bird and a craft of some sort. It is not visible in any of my other shots. Weather was gorgeous, 75, clear and breezy.

As I walked outside, I thought I was seeing Venus in the western sky. As soon as I realized it couldn't be Venus, the light got brighter, much brighter, and then quickly faded out to nothing. Possible "flare up" of an Iridium satellite?? PD

My son and I were walking outside at 9:20pm and noticed a small, white light in the sky. It could have been mistaken for a star had it not been moving. It moved SE away from us at a slow, even pace for about 30 seconds. Then it moved a bit to the ENE and dimmed/faded into the darkness. It made no sound.

Silent black triangular craft flew over my head and disappeared into the night sky.
