Light over Ladera Ranch, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
at the time I was on a FaceTime call with my friend laying in bed. it was a foggy night and I had my two windows open. A large disk formed clump of lights colored with gold and white, super bright, flew by my two windows just below the clouds but right over a tall tree. I immediately jumped up yelling what did I just see them quickly went onto Snapchat to get a date and time and description of what I just saw. after it flew by my dog started shaking. it was not an airplane or a drone and it was silent but close. I don’t know what I saw that night but for sure was a ufo.

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.
