Triangle over Forebay, CA

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

The report, as filed

UFO Report for August 12, 2018. My sisters and I were driving on Highway 80 coming from Las Vegas, going to Colfax, CA. We were approximately between Forebay and Baxter, CA. It was around 12:15 am, the morning of August 12th, 2018. While looking for the meteor shower, we saw three lights in a triangular formation directly in front of us (west) with a larger set of three to the north. Both sets were stationary, the lights completely still, but blinking in a slow pulsating manner. After around 15 or 20 seconds of continuous pulsing, they faded out. First the smaller of the two, then the larger directly afterwards. After the smaller ship faded out, my sister was still able to discern a black patch where the lights used to be and no stars were shining in that portion of the sky. She was driving so could only see it for a few seconds before we were out of visual range.

Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #142751). 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.
