Light over Spring Valley, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Unsure if it was drones, balloons, birds, or other. Saw the same thing back in January, but couldn't record. This footage was taken by a neighbor yesterday and matches what I saw back in Jan.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #172434). 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.

Two circular shaped uaps hovered in the clear sky above my Spring Valley home for approximately 15 minutes on January 25, 2023. I noticed them at approximately 10:15 am. They blinked bright white, looked like stars, hard to see when they didn't blink, made no sound, moved like laser pointers, had no light source causing it, possibly the size of 2 small planes, they moved up, down, side to side, and around each other. I reached out to the local FB group and shared a video I took of them, asking if anyone else in the area saw this? No one claimed anything. I reached out to the news. No one responded back.

Beginning a little before 10:00 PM on Monday the 27th of June, 2022, I began to observe the night sky facing west of my home, towards the Pacific Ocean. I immediately noticed 4 glowing objects/lights staying stationary in the sky. The color of the objects was amber in color. I began to observe them with my high-definition binoculars and from what I was able to determine, the objects appeared elongated on a vertical axis, almost as an upside-down umbrella type of shape. I began videotaping the incident with my phone and was able to include passing planes in our vicinity to show that the objects were not planes, as they were standing still in the sky. The incident lasted for about an hour or so. The objects kept changing in number thru the night. Sometimes only 2 would appear and sometimes up to 5 would appear. We called our local sheriff dept and they mentioned they had no reports from any government agency of what the objects could be. They referred us to your organization. It was then that we found out that others in our county had reported the objects already as well. Local news channels eventually wrote a story the same night showing that others had also reported on the incident.

During a family gettogether, one of our guests notice an object almost directly overhead and called everyone out to see. After I saw it, i got out my full frame DSLR with a 150 - 600mm lens. I laid on the ground, zoomed out to 600mm, held the camera as steady as possible and took the image. After several minutes of observation and no apparent motion, we lost interest and returned inside our home. Since the recent coverage of the "spy" balloon, I realized that the object we saw bared an uncanny resemblance. The images include the original and 2 cropped.

I looked up as a plane passed by on its final approach to San Diego airport when I notice far above the plane a small moving and shiny object. It appeared too high to be a drone. I took out my phone and started videotaping the object the best I could.
