Circle over Arleta, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
On 06/10/20 around 6:30pm - 7pm while exercizing at a neighbor's house, I noticed a white circle in the sky at what appeared to be a similar height that you would see satellites travel at night. Pointed it out to my workout partner and I told him maybe it's a sta r(which would be rare to see in L.A. while it's day light). Told him to grab his binos to see if it's a star or maybe even a planet.. Was difficult to find in the glasses, but while moving from glass to eyes on the blue/white flashing circle/orb, we spotted more (orange and white stationary,higher altitude, fade out/in and one back to back triangle looking formation) They appeared to fade in and out or maybe the angle of the sun plus how high they were. There were white circles and orange, and I only captured the orange on the binos. At this point I told my buddy I'm getting one of my telescopes, either the Orion xt6 or the Orion xt10i so we can get a better look. 15 min later back with the Smaller telescope and we couldn't spot them with the naked eye. After 5-10 min searching, another object appeared from the South heading north, but appeared to be a bit lower in altitude than a satelite, but way higher than any planes would fly. I was able to train my scope on this, and it looked like a white cloud/balloons spinning compared to tbe sigle circle faint objects. Also, following the object in the telescope was similar to following a planet as far as speed. Any feedback with answers/ideas on this experience or the last report would be appreciated. Thank you

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.

In the early hours of Mon., Sept. 16, 2019, at 1:30am, I stepped out onto the back stoop of my house to call my dogs in for the night. The moon was full or almost full and very breath taking with a few small scattered clouds around it so I thought about grabbing my telescope to get a closer look when suddenly I saw a blue-ish orb hovering or even “dancing” around the moon. It’s movement varied from hovering and slowly circling the moon to erratic movements like quick reversals and 90 degree turns at incredible speeds. The orb, blue with what looked like some type of small white-ish circles on top had no trail or beam of light connected to it and it was very bright and visible despite the fullness and brightness of the moon. I work w/ lasers moving heads and spotlights for a living so I knew it wasn’t either of those. As the orb danced around the moon it moved under some static clouds yet didn’t extend it’s light to reflect onto the clouds. So with no light t! rail leading from the ground up to the orb and no light reflection on the low lying clouds (that were in between the orb and the moon), I determined that it was self-luminous. And the orb’s brightness and color were not diminished when it moved around in closer visual proximity to the moon (yet still very far from the moon distance-wise), which again, was very, very bright. I took out my new iPhone XR and recorded some video of the incident which I’ve posted and shown other lighting professionals and they have no idea what it could be either. I only recorded about 4 minutes of video but it’s quite compelling. Let me know if you’d like a copy. I’d love to have professionals look at it to help determine what it was. Thanks!
