Formation over Solvang, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Most nights of this Aug., and now this Sep.3, I have observed hovering quite stationary lights (Each object has a line of four(?) white lights in a row. They form a sweeping half circle in the South to West (sort of) over Solvang, Ca., at somewhat different altitudes and intensities of lights, but still looking kind of organized. This town is not many miles from Vandenberg AFB. Once in Aug. I very briefly saw a quick blink of a red light within one of the crafts in the usual four lights in a row on one of the crafts. They are quite lovely I think. I only look up at them when I think of checking outside for them on some nights and they are usually there. Witness provides no contact information. PD

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.
