Diamond over Joshua Tree, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I'm a pilot and what I saw did not resemble an aircraft. 4 red lights. Might have been a single "aircraft" might have been 4 separate. Moving west to east. Apparent altitude above ground @5,000 ft. Apparent shape diamond. Very close together. Lights were steady red. Moving as a single aircraft". Lights were south of my location @5 miles. I didn't not see an object, only the lights.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #166173). 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.

UAP approached our camp sight, coming up over the 40ft barrier of rocks; it seem to hover 20 plus ft above rocks for a 30 seconds or so, seeming to rotate or change direction, then is shot off faster then any known military aircraft. It had rectanglular segments that seem to create a belt around the craft of low glow white or gray lights, and two more distinct lights (that seemed to be headlights). The UAP was silent, and seemed to create a noise reaction because all the insects went silent during the sighting and then went back to normal as soon as UAP zipped off. The UAP appeared to be gray in color and devoid of any mechanical sound or sound at all.

I went out to my driveway to check on my new car and immediately noticed a cylinder object that was brighter than the full moon. There was not a cloud in the sky. This was NOT a shooting star or an aircraft as planes are and were way above this object. The UFO was flying west to northeast horizontally across the sky at a rate of speed that was extremely fast, and I mean FAST! After seconds of my watching it the SUPER BRIGHT light went completely dark. There was not any trail or fuel smoke left behind. The abundant stars and full moon allowed me to see clearly. I am 60 years old and I have never seen anything like this and it is something that I will never forget! The local Sheriff's office had no other reports as I called them right after. I've been back outside twice and only saw a couple of regular aircraft much higher, much smaller, moving slowly with blinking lights that were obviously jetliners. I do not believe anyone on Earth has an aircraft that can maneuver or cloak itself like the UFO I witnessed.

I was outside at approximately 8 or 9pm and looking out at the stars above the monument when I saw what looked like a falling star. Moments later another falling star went horizontal in the same area as the first which fell vertically. I made wishes of course and continued enjoying the night sky, when I saw what was previously a stationary "star" drop and then short thrust upwards 3 times, drop again and 3 short thrusts upwards, repeating this pattern approximately 6 times until it got closer to earth. I then saw another "star" start moving upwards towards this dropping "light/star" until it got close enough and the first "light/star" stopped for a few seconds before shooting off towards the military base in 29 Palms. Then, the second "light/star" went upwards into the sky and basically planted there as if it was just a star.

My friend and i were on her porch, when i noticed a orb of light. I thought it was just 1 but when i looked through the telescope it was a bunch of lights that were close together. When i focused in it, looked like they moved individually and the a piece broke away from it and just took off.
