Teardrop over Corte Madera-Mt. Tamalpais, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Strange grouping of plasma fireball objects were observed interacting with each other in groups of 4 to 5. These were some of the most bizarre looking objects I've ever seen. One object to the left of this group was an oval bright yellowish orange. 2 objects appeared hovering side by side over the top of this Corte Madera hill for a solid 5 minutes. These two objects were every color of the color spectrum all blended together. These 2 objects were oblong and very tall and looked like the shape of a flower vase or wood burning stove with a curved section on the bottom. Several groups of these bizarre looking objects were seen in groups of 4 to 5 and sometimes in groups of 7 to 8 in loose formations. I estimate I saw 30 to 40 of these strange fireball objects on this evening. I saw these strange objects swarming through this Ross Valley area at two different times tonight at 9 to 9:30 and earlier in the evening roughly 6:30 to 7 o'clock.

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.
