Triangle over Whittier, CA

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

One cluster (cluster A) was flying low in the sky (like a typical airplane height) and was being paced by a much smaller single light. The smaller light eventually continued at a faster pace towards the north/west until it disappeared. Then at a much higher position another cluster of lights (cluster B) appeared moving across the sky south to north. Both clusters eventually lined up one above the other but from my perspective they were probably on the same “plane.” At this point they both rose higher and went in opposite directions. I lost sight of cluster B as it headed more towards the west and was getting smaller until it blended in with the stars in the sky (size wise). Cluster A was much more easier to track as it headed towards the east and almost directly above me. Both clusters when I first saw them were much larger in scale almost blimp like or hot air balloon in size. Cluster A kept getting higher and also starting to blend in with the size of the ! night stars. Cluster A moved close to the Little Dipper and then headed back towards the west where the light pollution eventually made it almost impossible to keep track of. I actually laid down on the ground to monitor cluster A because my neck started to hurt. I tracked it for over 40 minutes. I also have very grainy iPhone footage that I hastily filmed for 3 minutes but is very hard to see because of the distance. But you can see both clusters as they lined up with each other shortly after I first saw them.

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.

It was like looking at the night sky but in the day time. From about 30 to 40 objects as if they were forming patterns in the sky. Then I took out my phone and filmed for about a minute and 15 seconds. Incredible.....

I was driving North on the 605 freeway Dec. 23, 2022 @12:35 pm (with my spouse and my son) heading to L.A., and as the traffic slowed down to a crawl and momentary stop, I suddenly noticed up in the sky ahead a fleet of chevron shaped flying objects moving in unison in a semi circular to and fro pattern. They all were a shiny metallic color with a white top or bottom, it was difficult to discern as they were moving and when they did their turns they would completely disappear from the naked eye and then immediately reappear and continue to do their maneuver in unison. They did this for approximately 3 minutes, maybe a bit longer, then they just vanished. And by vanished, I mean they disappeared. They didn't fly anywhere else or towards another direction, they just completely instantly vanished.

I was driving northbound on the 605 freeway it was between Whittier and Montebello. It was in the evening between 7:00pm to 7:30pm. Traffic began to build up then to a complete standstill. Then all of a sudden 3or4 bright flashes of bright green hues like lightning without bolts coming from the ground not the sky. Then traffic begins to move as I drove more down there was a 3 car collision on the southbound 605 carpool lane no fire. Very weird thought bombs were being dropped.

The object looked white in the middle and was casting a shadow around itself when pausing the video, zooming and taking screen shots.
