Circle over Gonzales, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My dad, and I saw about 6 lights of varying distances apart from each other extremely high in the sky flashing at times but, moving extremely fast. Disappeared one by one, seemingly fading into the night sky as if flying up at extreme speed. No sound was made.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #152053). 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.
