Formation over In-flight (California), CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We are on a direct Alaska Airline flight 3377 from Albuquerque to San Francisco and during the trip I like to take pictures of clouds. My wife then tell me have you seen those lights I said no but look back and there 3 objects each one with 2 bright lights that were above ground and were all line up. I took pictures with my phone. During the observation at one point one of the object would disappear, its lights were no longer be visible then it will reappear after no ore than 10-15 seconds. This happened twice during the observation, the second time it was a different object than the first time. The objects seems to remain in the same position not moving from one other. I have recorded a 4 minutes clip until I couldn't see any longer the objects from the plane window. We didn't advertised our observation to any flight personnel to avoid creating chaos on the plane. No one on our side of the plane seemed to have their window shade up to look outside (couldn't see all the way to the back of the airplane). We were sitting in seat A and B.

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.
