Oval over Corte Madera, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I also believe I witnessed possibly the same sighting on 1-24-19 at 6:45 P.M from the Golden Gate Bridge toll Plaza as someone reported from Oakland. A huge yellow light was seen near the SF downtown skyline at exactly 6:45 to 6;50 P.M. No one else at the bus stop or tourists or anyone else seemed to be noticing this huge hovering light and a second object appeared briefly and then they just winked out like someone turning off a light switch.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #144797). 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.

At 1235 hrs, I saw 6-7 metallic objects flying south, they appeared to be silver or metallic in material/color. They were in the shape of pointed ovals. The seemed to be flying really high and fast. They shimmered/twinkled almost like a star with a brief white aura surrounding them. The sound of military jets were heard and it should be noted that the Blue Angles US Navy flight team was within a 50 ish mile radius as it is/was fleet week for the San Francisco Bay Area

Multiple quick forming formations of sphere star like objects appearing near Corte Madera marsh area. Very distict triangular and diamond formations of lights hovering, rotating around each other changing positions etc.. In just 15 minutes these strange lights appeared out of nowhere and interact with each other. These sightings like this are continuing nightly through July and now August but nobody seems to be paying any attention.

I saw a huge glowing red disc-/cigar-shaped object manuevering back and forth in front of this hill on the east side of Corte Madera. This was a real craft and I saw it through high powered binoculars perfectly clear. It was a bright cherry red and completely lit up like a glowing light bulb. It had no lights on it, there was no haze around it and the whole craft was totally luminous. I got an incredible look at it. even though I was about 3 or 4 miles away, I saw everything. It came from over the top of this hill and abruptly stopped near the right top of this hill. I specifically noticed that when this craft was moving it was a bright cherry red and when it slowed down and hovered, it changed to a dull orange brownish color. This craft dropped way down on this hillside almost landing on the grass and I could see the top of this object. It had some kind of a slanted curved dome like structure on the top and once again when it slowed down it turned a burnt ora! nge color. This object disappeared and re-appeared several times in various locations on the west side of this hill before it finally travelled from left to right and went in between 2 sets of hills at really low level and headed toward Mill Valley and Tiburon. I was looking down at this object from up in the hills toward the west and I could see it perfectly clear from the top and from the side through the binoculars. The night was perfectly clear and the size of this thing and the luminous glowing of this object was unbelievable. I believe that other people might have also seen this as it was near the 101 Freeway and this incident happened at about 7:30 to 7:40 P.M., I wanted to mention that I had a "cluster of lights" sighting on 11-10-16 with 2 other witnesses. We saw a group of 8 to 15 orbs of light in San Rafael near the Bay. I am mentioning this because you have other San Rafael sighting being reported on 11-09 and 11-11-16 by independent witnesses.

I watched a cluster of 2 to 7 yellow gold glowing lights stationary near the bay and Corte Madera marsh area. This activity went on for approximately 1 hour. Sometimes there would be a string of 4 to 6 objects in a row and other times there would be 2 bright objects side by side. This hour long activity would start to fade out and then start right up again.

Witnessed multiple lights hovering near Corte Madera bayside hill. I first noticed it and then had a neighbor coming up the road view it with me. We watched these lights for about 10 minutes in eastern sky. We both came to an agreement that these were not airplanes. Seemed to be over the Bay .
