Cylinder over Fallbrook/Oceanside, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Headed northeast on Douglas Drive towards an emergency call (I’m a night nurse) to a private patient’s home nearby. We saw a very low light coming towards us. It seemed to be headed in a southward direction very fast. But the object seemed partially luminous, silvery, bright and and mutating to partially sheer. It zoomed right in front of us, we thought it would hit us, then it zipped two extremely fast zips to right then left. Impossible maneuvering of anything we’ve ever seen. Then it got bright and disappeared into nothing. We were visibly upset. The cars GPS malfunctioned on return in that spot. Made us extraordinarily uneasy.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #166838). 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.
