Circle over Clear Lake, CA

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

Around 1 am on 07/19/2018 I was outside having a smoke with my kids father when we saw a large round bright green light shoot across the sky. It started rather slow and then it picked up a sudden pace and headed off toward Hidden Valley Lake area. It was a distance away from where we stood but it made no noises and as the speed picked up the green light flickered. The speed was to fast for a helicopter and to big to be an air plane. We talked about what it might be and decided possible a falling star but now as of 07/20/2018 many others have reported a similar sighting with someone reporting their house cameras caught it all on film.

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.

Clear Lake, CA

It was around 4:25 PM, just after a massive storm that had brought extremely high winds, ripping roofs off homes and pulling down trees. The next day, the winds were still blowing. However, there was no rain. The clouds were unusually low and moving rapidly. I was working on my Mustang, installing a new water pump, when something in the sky caught my attention. I looked up to see a cigar-shaped craft. It had black rectangular windows or possibly doors on the sides, spanning almost the entire height of the craft, though not quite, leaving a bit of space above and below. There were about twenty of these black rectangular shapes, lined side by side, each separated by an equal distance that matched their size. The craft had no lines, joints, creases, rivets, screws, or visible assembly points. It appeared to have a metallic skin unlike any color I've ever seen—metallic but not silver, more of a tan. Interestingly, there were no markings on it, nor any lights typical of an aircraft. Also, it emitted no sound. Despite the extremely high winds, the craft remained stationary the whole time. This was no balloon. It was colossal, larger than a 747. It was void of wings, engines, or tails. It was roughly the size of an aircraft carrier, and the black doors on its side were sizable, just right for a frisbee-shaped disc to flip sideways and slide in, much like a CD entering a car stereo. The craft moved and maneuvered in ways our technology cannot. It disappeared in a blink and then reappeared, slowly creeping into a cloud. Suddenly, it zoomed off, and even though it was no longer visible, I could tell which way it had gone. The clouds it passed into were drawn in by its passing, creating a clear path.
