Oval over Palms Springs, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
On November 17, 2019 at 2:25pm (Pacific), in a clear blue sky in Palm Springs, California (91 degrees farenheit), 4 individuals who were outside at a pool in their home, clearly saw a white, oval-shaped object hovering directly above at a height of about 15,000 to 20,000 feet. The object may have slightly left to right, but it was in a fixed location for the duration of the sighting. The object was then viewed through binoculars and it had an orb-like, oval-shape with a dark outline and appeared to be either rotating or vibrating fast. At 3:32pm, the object disappeared and despite searching the sky with the binoculars, we found no trace of it.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #150843). 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.
