A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was looking up in the sky while I was waiting for my dog to finish eating. I noticed a light which was pretty high like a star moving Southwest towards San Diego. It was an even light, low constant glow, moving fast for the high altitude it was moving at. I thought maybe it was an aircraft but it had no marker lights flashing. Then, I thought well it was a Satellite, I have seen them before moving straight across the sky, but then it curved out to the sea, and faded out. You don't see aircraft at night unless they have flashing lights and Satellites move in straight lines. I'll keep looking. Thank You

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.
