Cylinder over Pacifica, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Cylinder shaped craft fat into horizon looked like it was entering from the sky, comet-like tail training behind it. Then seemed to float in air with sunset reflecting off of it
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #150034). 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.

First person saw Glowing light under ocean and then came to surface of water and one light became a green/blue lazer looking light and then she said "Look" As she looked at me there was only one lazer greenish/blue light. But then as she said no look out the window and I looked and then saw the one light had become 5 orb type lights and they were hovering on the water or slightly above the water. It was app 1 mile off the beach.

This UFO follows me wherever I go. I have many videos of it, including following me across state lines. It creates a very disturbing frequency producing Havana like sounds causing my ears ring extremely high- not tinnitus. It followed me to a cornfield in Iowa. This is a moral evil that our country is allowing this type of experimentation ti go on. Directed weapons should be banned from being used on protesters, activists, or anyone speaking their mind. This country was founded on freedom of speech and expression and some subversive elite group is trumping our civil rights, our democracy and injuring innocent civilians. Please investigate this, contact me and let me know what this is.

Observed bright red circular shape over the Pacific Ocean hovering for at least 30 minutes, visible to naked eye. It was very clear night with no clouds and the stars very clearly visible. The object was brighter than any stars. There were a couple of lights from ships visible on the horizon in that sector, which are normally present in the area. The object appeared above them and was hovering, or maybe moving very slowly. It was slightly flickering, but not blinking. If it was helicopter-sized, it would be at least a couple of miles off shore. Several pictures and short video are available.

Bright orange/yellow object either very low in sky or on horizon/ocean. Pointed telescope at it - perhaps a star? Seems way too bright/orange for a star though.

I took out the telescope and when focused, discovered it was moving very slowly. It took about a minute to move across the lens frame. I kept moving the telescope to keep it in sight. It travelled very slowly in a southern path along the pacific coast. It had to be at a very high orbit to move that slowly. We watched it until dark, when it disappeared by getting smaller, presumably by gaining altitude. The lights were not visible to the naked eye, because the object was too high. The focused image in our small telescope appeared with the distinguished bright lights in an arc along the top, and dim along the bottom. The image in the center changed form, but generally resembled a T. The base of the T pointed in different directions, from straight down to about 4 o'clock. The lights did not move at all, the sphere did not appear to rotate. It was a perfect sphere shape, there were more details on the surface that were changing or indistinguishable, not drawn here. I wish we had a camera telescope. This was truly the most amazing thing we have seen.

We got our telescope and focused in on the object. It was clearly a UFO. It looked like a circle/sphere shape. It had bright white and yellow glowing lights around the perimeter of the circle. There were two straight long lines in the middle that moved like clock hands, back and forth. It hovered for about an hour from when we spotted it. Then, in a split second flew away out of sight.
