Other over Lathrup, CA

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

The report, as filed

I was returning to my tractor trailer at a large trucking depot. I have made a habit of always looking up as I have never seen a UFO in my 60 years. Always wondered if they were in fact real. This night I was 15 feet from my truck, it was parked in a row with other trucks that reach almost 14 feet high. They were blocking the flood lamps so I was peering at a hazy, few stars night sky. My estimation was the object came over at 100 feet. It looked like a rounded off square, flying corner first. It was bowed so the lateral corners were facing downward.It was smaller than maybe a Piper Cub aircraft, but not by much. Of course at that time it looked dark gray. Just lighter than the sky around it. It moved absolutely silently (the trucks were shut down for the night so it was dead quiet). There were very week pale white lights at the corner of each downward facing "wing". If I had not been looking up, I would never have known it came over. It vanished o! ver the top of the trailers and was gone.

Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #149961). 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.
