Oval over Hilmar, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Craft hovered in the northern sky, it then rapidly moved to the western shy and hovered in a lower position for about 45 to 50 minutes then vanished. It was bright and appeared to have lights on both sides of the craft with a dark space in the front. It also appeared to be oval or triangle shape.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #174312). 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.
