Cylinder over Jurupa Valley, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
The objects flew silently and were descending from the night sky onto the local hills in an irregular pattern. They all had an steady orange glow which disappears as they appeared to make landfall. The leading objects would disappear farther ahead of the trailing objects. They flew along the contours of the rugged hills. Distance from both witnesses about one mile . These did not have blinking white, red, green flashing lights as seen on normal appearing aircraft.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #156155). 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.
