Light over Danville, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
It was around 5-5:30 in which my family and I (my father and eldest sibling) were heading out to pick up some Afghan food in Dublin/Livermore. We headed out via Camino Tassajara Road (Country side region) where we passed Tassajara Hills Elementary School and the soccer stadium nearby, as reference markers. A few minutes later, while listening to music, I looked to my left and saw a stationary object of pure light hovering at a high altitude. Note too, there was a radio on with my family members talking, but neither was too loud to completely overwhelm my senses. Regardless, no obvious sound, movement, or even the common “position lights” of common aircraft were apparent — non-existent. I recorded this object for around 43 seconds, but had my eyes on it some seconds more prior. Even when I wasn’t recording and looked with my naked eye, I could tell there was no movement whatsoever. In regards to the video, it is wobbly given the rough, hilly road, so I do apologize for that, but hope it helps. Now first and foremost, I must inform whoever sees this: there are no signal towers that are of that altitude, nor multiple in the distance that could breach these clouds, or be apparent (usually “dim” but still noticeable, however, not like this), no position lights, thus no aircraft, nonetheless, seemed “odd”. Usually you can see a dark dot to indicate a general idea of form, with objects of our knowledge in this time of day (while being overcast, there was a good portion of light left). While some may rule this out as a helicopter, signal tower, etc, none seem viable. Any grammar, tonal or spelling mistakes, forgive me, since I’m very tired at the moment. Any questions, always welcome to contact me. Thanks

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.

It started out as scattered random light flashes, them we witness a massive triangle roughly 2 1/2 ft long per side and there are now 2 of the triangles joining and several dozen smaller aircraft are coming out of this thing. I am sober, and a vet. Perfect psych report, we arec witnessing this Rifht now. It's happening. Our cell phone cameras aren't picking them up they're to faint but look into this you have to.

From Osage Park/ GreenBrook Neighborhood on the trail in Danville. Looking at Triangle glowing within orange orb... Craft facing NW, it hovered over a house then turned its lights off. Then seen E from there, going E,it had giant flashing yellow orb style light in sky w a few dispersing lights from it. Lit up the sky around it a lot w every flash and went over the hill. Visible from Near Iron Horse Trail in Greenbrook Neighborhood.

I was sitting in bed and I hear a weird radiating sound so I look out my window to see a bright white circle go flying across the sky at incredible speeds. Myself as a pilot could tell that almost no aircraft could go that fast without a sonic boom or deafening sound.
