Cylinder over SOLANA BEACH, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I took two pictures of the sunset, one right after the other. The object doesn’t appear in the first picture. The camera wasn’t repositioned. The pictures were taken in direct succession!!! You have to EXPAND the second picture!!
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #168792). 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.
