Light over Venice Beach, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Saw a bright orange / pink bright sky almost as If the sun has set. It was well over the Pacific off Santa Monica and Malibu. No lights near it. Over dark ocean. Entire sky dark blue and white clouds. This seem to get brighter at times, spread a little longer, never moved at all. Pic doesn’t do justice...
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #152087). 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.
