Formation over Paradise and Quincy, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
A formation of lights perfectly spaced traveling at a high rate of speed continued in a north-west direction with only small breaks in between what I would consider "Ships". Lights varied from dim to medium bright white in color. After counting up-to 30 continual light after light , I realized what I was witnessing. At looking around in the sky I did notice some lights dimmer white toward the south as if to be-watching the formation traveling south-east.They disappeared at a high rate. This was off of Pence, Rd , in Paradise ,Ca. Between 8:15 to 8:50. I then drove east to Quincy, Ca. to my residence at which time my mate confirmed the sighting as I but here in Quincy. He experience lasted more than a hour.

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.
