Light over Lucerne, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
At around 11:30 PM, I noticed a star blinking strangely in the night sky through my window. It appeared almost the same as an average star, however, there is substantial cloud cover tonight and I noticed slight changes in hue when the thing blinked. I continued watching, reporting to some friends over text at 11:53 PM (hence the timestamp.) I left for a few moments, and the star was gone. I stared at the sky some more just to be totally certain, and saw the object streak relatively slowly across the sky. I see relatively similar things on a regular basis, so I thought I'd report it.

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.
