Circle over Los Angelas, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
The moment I saw them, I looked for the beacons than are on planes and helicopters and I didn't see any at all. I saw these six, pretty looking, circular lights (seemed like a bright white LED lights ) flying fast, in unison, but making it look so smooth. They were gliding straight for the first 10-15 seconds. Then all the sudden they all made a very fast maneuver and peeled up into the sky breaking through the clouds, then i lost sight of them.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #166857). 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.
