Disk over Cardiff By The Sea, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Outside hotel, facing freeway toward sea, a bright disk in night sky swiftly zipped then settled hovering in one spot. As the greater blue light body spun, a smaller disk object, centered at parallel, oscillating opposite spin. Large and small discs randomly changed spin speeds and directions with either spikes in armature or secondary disc was spoke-like. Small disc broke off and the greater combined light instantly half dimmed for the two, then larger disc brightened. Objects hovered a half an hour above San Diego area near Scripps College over the sea. A lower plane passed by somewhat 3,000 feet below so perhaps discs were near 6,000 altitude on clear night.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #153400). 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.
