Light over Big Bear, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
There was a star like object that was the brightest in the sky. It started to move faster than a shooting star. It went one direction then went dim and went back in the opposite direction. The light went dark and then blinked a few times before moving in a circular motion only to disappear.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #147283). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

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.

In late August 2019 my girlfriend and I went camping / climbing in the Holcomb Valley Pinnacles. Everyone went to bed and I took my camera out for some astro photography. I was on top of a huge rock 20 feet in the air with my camera looking out toward the north west over the pinnacles. I saw several planes fly through the sky over an hour or so then I saw two what I thought were planes flying next to one another through the sky headed west north west. I had my camera pointed that way and captured them. Planes make a flashing line in astro photography as you leave the shutter open to allow more light in and there lights are flashing. These ufo's left two solid lines through the photo. I don't know what they were, but they didn't look like planes after I took a closer look at the photos. I could see a solid light as they flew. I've been taking astro photos for a few years now and am pretty familiar with how things look in the sky and pictures. These did not do! anything crazy, but do not look right.
