Sphere over pleasant hill, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
As I said, I saw this bright bright orb in the sky by Ellenwood shopping center in Pleasant Hill California. I posted on a neighborhood app called Nextdoor. No one else responded that they had seen anything. I’ve never seen anything like it. It wasn’t super large, just quick and very bright.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #173467). 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.
