Circle over Victoria Island, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
On June 17, 2020, at approximately 0430 hours, I was in my personal vehicle driving west on CA-4 while accompanied by my friend. While driving I noticed on my right peripheral that there was a string of lights flying in the sky. I drew my friend's attention to the lights. He looked out the window and began to take photos. I pull over to the shoulder lane on CA-4 so my friend and I could have a better view of the lights. While in the sky, the formation of lights appeared to be traveling in a single line formation. The lights consisted of approximately 40 lights. The lights were seen flying east from our location. No noise could be heard from the lights. After approximately 8 mins the lights flew out of view and disappear.

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.
