Triangle over Lotus, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
A huge, black triangular shape craft making no noise, it had huge bright round lights on the bottom, and flew just above the tree tops over my vehicle at a very slowly. It was flying from the north to the south. I stopped in the middle of the road, put my head out the window and watch it fly over. I don’t know how it stayed in the air flying so slowly. How it made no noise. Or what kind of aircraft it was. I have not seen it again.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #161088). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
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.
