Oval over SANTEE, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
It was 8:52pm and I saw a fighter jet going NW over my house. Then looking up I saw a black mass moving overhead where the fighter jet was exactly. Then looking up I saw at least 100 yards of blooming lights turned on me for 10-15 seconds. I waited until the lights went off and then grabbed my phone in my pocket. I started filming the black mass and I was able to catch multiple moving lights on this black mass. It was individual small white moving lights. It even had a point where something looks like it comes out of the craft then goes back in that was purple and green. It was unbelievable. I couldn't believe I caught footage of this UFO. The lights shined on me were so bright and blooming. It was unreal. I was in a daze when the lights hit me and froze me in place momentarily. There was a small rumblings noise associated with the object.

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.
