Teardrop over Fresno, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
This event happened on the 4th of July 2020. In Fresno, California. My Daughter and I were sitting outside in our lounge chairs by the pool, after everybody else in our family had gone to bed. We were facing North . I am 58 and my daughter is 35 years old. At about 10:45pm my daughter said, mom what is that? I looked up and through some trees I could see what looked like a ball of fire. Maybe a couple of city blocks away. With some fireworks still going off, my first thought was it had to be related. But within seconds I could tell it was coming straight towards us, moving South. When another fire ball came up behind it, and then another, with a total of 7 round fire lights. Orange, reddish in color. Coming straight at us. The first one is right over our heads now; we are looking straight up. The fire ball light was gone. We could only see the bottom of a vehicle; it was in a tear drop shape . NO lights and NO sound . It was a full moon that night so we could see the bottom of this flying thing. I would say it was traveling about the height of a helicopter flying in a city maybe 200 or 300 yards up. It was moving at about 20 miles per hour. A total of 5 vehicles past over us. The last 2 turned to the East before they reach us. When we looked to the south after passing us, they disappeared quickly. No lights on the back. So, we could not see them for very long as they moved into the moon light. My daughter and I are both hoping someone can provide an earthly explanation for what we seen that night. I think about this event daily, having trouble sleeping and concentrating on daily task. I have told some family and the first thing they say is did you take pictures. No pictures, I think I was afraid to run and grab my phone, because I thought I would miss it. But truly, it never even came to thought. I did draw it out on paper. I feel like I am waiting for their return, always looking up or out in the night sky.

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.

I was standing outside and looked up into the sky and seen this lights moving around like almost spinning I took out my phone and recorded what I seen but the problem is you have to slow it down to see them they where the same color as the sky and make it difficult to see unless you know what to look for there has been 5 times more after this that I have seen and recorded UFO/UAP in the sky when I look back and slow them done you can see things that are black shooting off of and object that pass the screen

After watching the video it seems to me the green object ejected three white objects. The green object seem to be frightened when an airplane flew by. [NUFORC annotation: Drone - Possible]

Every night for the past two months my family and I witness triangular shaped objects in the sky and also orbs that flash. The triangular shaped objects seem to move around in the sky with invisibility but you can still make them out. The objects seem to follow us around the yard.

So last night around 10:30ish pm, my husband and I heard a sound of an object that hit the ground in our enclosed laundry room that has French doors that lead to our back yard. We think nothing of it and don’t react until 3 minutes later when we hear it again. My husband goes to check and finds nothing out of place. Weird but not worrisome. Then about 11:10 pm I go to the kitchen to put something in the sink and when I look out my kitchen window, I see two red lights moving simultaneously to the left toward our tenants cottage. It startled me and I jumped back and looked again and it continued to move in the same direction. They appeared to be the size and circumference of a lid to a pickle jar. It was about 20 feet away from the window. We have four outdoor sensors but none of them went off. I asked our tenants if they were out with a flash light or thought it might be a lights from an emergency vehicle but it was two steady, circular lights. Not flashing, not blinking, not a stream. They were two lights in tact.
