Light over Adelanto, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
A few nights ago we were looking at the stars and we saw one moving. We figured ait was a satellite. As we watched it ot was about to pass a star and it changed direction by about 25 degrees. Enough where we are both 100% positive it could not be a satellite. Last night around 8:15 just b4 i was about to go inside I saw another one. I called my gf to come and look at it. As we watched it, it seemed to almost stop and start. Next it just raced south out of view.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #172812). 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.
