Light over Los Angekes, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Looked up and saw lights, not flashing like stars, far away like an airliner high up or like a satellite - I am not sure as for the size but this was far up. The lights were flying fast in on line evenly spaced - maybe 50 to 100 miles apart... some of the lights were flying on the side as well but not as many as on the mainline. I saw about 25 of these lights one following the other but not sure how many were there before I noticed this.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #155133). 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.
