Light over El Dorado Hills, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
While walking on dark moonless night I noticed flashes of light up near some oak trees may be 50 yards away and thought it was a drone at first but another source of light pulled my attention to about 10 yards in front of me near some cattails in the is little marshy area- Again I thought drone but the lights were not connected and flashed, faded and then sped away back up towards where I saw the first flashes. I thought well maybe it was kids with lasers pointers but the angles and lights didn’t move like that. My music had stopped playing and I was a little freaked felt like the lights had run off and away from me, so I wasn’t in a panic but alert for sure.

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.

While driving on US-50 eastbound, right at the end of Folsom City and before the sign of El Dorado County line, saw a very bright/white descend very fast from my right to left. As it got closer to surface, light faded and it appeared to travel towards Folsom Lake or Auburn area

I took several shots, and noticed a faint line on the sky, like a vapor path of a high speed plane, so I decided to zoom in. I took a picture and made a GIF file (rapid succession of 20 images). Upon reviewing the photographs, I noticed something strange--several objects appearing and dissapearing alomg the vapor path that is also strange as it is single and not double as those left by military jets. My friend was with me at the time of making these photos, using my Galaxy Note 8 phone.
