Circle over Glendale area, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
There was a circular flying craft - not very large - with multi colored lights. It seemed to be rotating as it flew. Several smaller circular ones - almost as if they were babies to the bigger one- came off of the larger one with whitish blue lights. This was over the 210 freeway between downtown Los Angeles and Altadena at approximately 8:00 pm. This may have been a drone. However everyone I have asked says they have not heard of such a drone type that emits smaller drones.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #145456). 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.
