A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was driving yo Thanksgiving Dinner North from workman towards Roland on Barranca Ave. and noticed a low flying helicopter passing above. After it flew out of view I noticed above it three Orange , what looked like, balls of fire or glowing orbs following each other in a straight line coming from the West to the East. I pulled into the gas station parking lot and turned the video from my phone on. By that time the three objects had passed and then formed what looked like a triangle formation. After that they changed into a line from up to down and then the light changed from an Orange glow to White and each object disappeared after turning white. At the same time as this I noticed a fourth object flying almost directly over me headed in the same direction as the previous objects. This object made no sound and could almost look like it was floating along maybe catching up to the other three. I zoomed in on this object but all it looked like was a large ball of fire. When it reached the same general area as the original three it also changed from Orange to White and Blinked off or disappeared from view in the same way as the first three. The video is to long to upload so here is the link to it in my dropbox https://www.dropbox.com/s/97iiqeb0f0qve2n/VID_20211125_181025391.mp4?dl=0 It is 1 minute 20 seconds long.if you ave any questions feel free to contact me at the number I provided below.

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.
