Triangle over Rancho Palos Verdes, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Saw an extremely bright, changing color, flickering, triangle shaped object flying above the ocean. It looked like water was being pulled into it. There was a smaller object next to it, just stagnant. There was no sound with either but both had a glowing haze. We got a quick video! Soon as we put the flash on, it stopped flickering colors and the brightness stopped and took off.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #162315). 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.

We live approximately 1000ft above the Pacific on a hillside. We have a clear view from the coast to Catalina Island. My son called for me to come see what he described as "pepper flakes" crossing on or near the ocean. As we watched they began to ascend. First the frontmost, then the next, etc. They were not evenly spaced but were clearly on the same path mostly. They were not connected. They rose into the clouds until we could no longer see them. Took about 5 minutes. I assumed they were large drones or weather balloons, but I can't find anything that fits. I'd love to hear a reasonable explanation for what we saw. This was observed by myself, my 11 year old son, and my 15 year old daughter. The image is the area of the sighting but I didn't take a photo of the event, at the time not thinking it was unusual.

Rancho Palos Verdes, CA/February 28 @ 9:15PM: Unidentified Sighting My husband and my 10-year-old daughter saw a strange bar of extremely bright light in the air. They went outside as it circled in the sky for about 30 seconds. It was soundless and unnaturally smooth. Then, the object glided out of sight, heading north at a tremendous speed. It appeared to be about 500 feet in the sky and seemed too large to be a drone. We were not able to capture a picture of it ourselves, but after looking online we found picture almost identical to what we saw.

Strange lights in a line, as many as seven at a time and as few as one. All hovered in a straight line, did not move up/down/left/right. Lights flickered and went out and came back. Lasted approximately 30 mins.
