The report, as filed
20 balls of light staying stationary on one unidentified object moving super slow below helicopters and planes . Couldn’t see the object just the lights hovering over Dana Point Coast everyone freaked out didn’t know what it was and as soon as it was gone everyone just mind their own business and I still till this day think it was a unidentified object because it was something not like anyone has seen before based on the lights they all stayed the same distance and the height it almost look like The size of a boat that holds shipping containers hovering right above the trees going super slow then disappeared over the hilltop

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.
