Circle over Compton / Paramount, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We witnessed 7-9 unidentified objects emanating a bright red light. These objects were traveling north bound and disappeared quickly. We could definitely tell these were not aircraft as aircraft have a beacon light you can see flicker away into the distance. These items maintained a constant red glow and vanished.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #173001). 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.
