Formation over Ramona, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
This string of lights was moving faster than a jet aircraft would at what appeared to be a comparable altitude. The string consisted of 20 - 30 lights that remained horizontally in line with each other and moved in complete silence. The movement of the row of lights appeared as though they were attached to each other by a single string. The wind was coming from the east and the lights were moving west. There was no noise at all and the lights were white with a similar intensity of brightness as the surrounding stars. They were too low to have been a satellite.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #162118). 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.

I awoke early morning of Sunday, April 23, to use the restroom. While walking to my bathroom a very bright light outside the window occurred, followed by a sharp sport light being directed by something from above my home. When done using the restroom, upon returning to my bed the same sequence of lights lectured from outside my window on the other side of the house. Very bright, coming from above, and certainly being directed by someone or something. I live in a rural part of the country outside Ramona, it is very dark and certainly was not car lights or something else. I was quite frightened and was not about to go outside and investigate as I am not armed or ability to protect myself. It was as if, something was trying to lure me outside. This was not a natural phenomenon, the light was extremely bright, intentional and being directed. I am even days later, contemplating what this was and from whom. I know in my heart these lights came from above, and from a UFO, which was completely silent as my window was open. Scary to say the least, and waking up all hours of the night these days wondering if it or they will return. I retn a room in this house in Ramona and will be returning to my residence in WA the end of June.

Ling string of lights heading south east that appear in orbit. Various brightness for each of the lights. Moving at a steady pace like a satellite. Checked SpaceX site for location of there satellites space link. They should not have been in the area. Looked like them though.

Lights went out in my neighborhood. West end of Ramona, CA. After lights went out there was a very bright flash/explosion of white light near the ground on the north end of Ramona. No sound and no sirens. Only one other person (neighbor) saw the light. SDGE reported over 3000 without power but no explanation, no discussion about the bright light flash/explosion. So, what happened?
