Formation over Marin, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
A constant line of star like forms, moving on a single trajectory slowly along Marin headlands west to east at first in front of us. A few minutes elapsed then they returned flying from the same direction but more north westerly to the south easterly direction and this time more overhead. The lights were spaced at different intervals, some seemed to be catching up and varying ever so slightly in speed, some were flying closer together, some more spaced out.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #163091). 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.
