Light over Apple valley, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Was outside at night recording with my cell phone the lightning storm across the valley and witnessed a bright glowing object shoot from the bottom of the mountain up at an angle and into a lit area of the clouds at a very high rate of speed it was amazing.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #171585). 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.
