Sphere over Cardiff, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
On Friday 04/10/2020, my wife and I witnessed 3 glowing objects out over the Pacific Ocean. They seemed to be a mile or 2 from shore. At one moment one of the spheres started flashing in several colors. Through a telescope it looked like one beige round light directly above a dark blue round light, which both remained stationary, while a 3rd turquoise light quickly jumped from the right of the two and then directly between the two. This occurred for about 5-10 minutes before these lights dimmed but remained visible. At this time we noticed 2 other objects above the original. One a little above and to the right while a 3rd was very high to the left and became the brightest of the 3. All of these objects bounced around. We filmed for over an hour total. I’ve post 2 short videos of the sighting on You Tube. The incident lasted almost 3 hours.

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.

I witnessed this event with my husband. I initially noticed an unusually large, bright orange light over the ocean and went out to the balcony to investigate. The object was about .25 to .50 miles from the shore hovering below the cloud cover and about 200-300 feet above the ocean. Other like objects appeared for a total of 7 bright orange glowing objects. When I viewed them with binoculars; the objects had bright yellow and red flickering lights and appeared to be cigar like in shape floating vertically angled in the evening sky. No sounds came from the objects. No boats, planes, or helicopters were in the area.

There were two glowing round objects in the sky over the Pacific ocean approximately 1/4 of a mile from shore and 200-300 feet in the air. These objects had glowing lights underneath and a reddish infrared light went straight down to the ocean. These 2 objects moved around and started to multiply until there were 7 in a row. Then they slowly disappeared one by one until all were gone. I have a 9:23 video of the sighting. I can upload to you upon request.
