Sphere over Kelseyville, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Red orange orb around 25,000 ft coming from the north, sped up and turned towards the east and kept going . The object didn't have navigation lights and emitted zero sound , it stayed the same color the entire time and maintained the same elevation and speed. In the video I tried to signal it with a strobe flashlight, no response. Flight radar screen shot showed no aircraft in the area .
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #163164). 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.

Not necessarily UFO's just never seen before! 8 objects (could have been more just out of sight) perfectly spaced( say a mile apart) following one line easterly over my house. Could have been military coming from Hawaii or something? there was one light, farther away and offline trailing the others. Never seen planes on that flight path, just looking for explanation!

The aircraft made a second turn leaving com trails again before Coming close to the craft. I used 10x50 binoculars to view the craft and viewed a round type disk white and reflective. The craft also had a large hole in the middle that was darker than the blue sky. ' The craft didn't move at all and just disappeared. I took a picture with my iPhone 4 Wich I have uploaded to you. ((sic. YouTube??)) We have looked at the photo provided by the witness, and the one object we see appears to us to be a short contrail behind a high-altitude aircraft. PD

A bright light hovered about 4,000 feet above Mt Konocti, and was engaged by at least two military fighter jets. The dog fight that ensued, lasted for about fifteen minutes. From my vantage point it appeared that at least one, may both fighter jets were shot down. Many people took pictures and had a better view of the craft. UFO's fly around this mountain all the time. I usually take it with a grain of salt, but this is the fist time I saw one shoot down one of our jets. Now it's personal. We have spoken via telephone with the witness, and encouraged him to contact the press, in search of other witnesses to the alleged event, in order to corroborate the report above. We would like to see more evidence, before we can conclude that a U. S. military jet fighter was, in fact, downed by a flying saucer. PD
