Light over westminster, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Well sitting on my back porch in westminster California looking south east just to the right of the moon that was coming up there was some kind of giant light in the cloud with about four other lights constantly circling into it, there was no light visible when the light passed through the blue part of the sky, the object in the clouds moved along with the clouds, it was not stationary coming from the ground, eventually the larger ball of light disappeared but there were still smaller lights moving in a pattern throughout the clouds

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.
