Light over DESERT HOT SPRINGS. Sky Valley, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I drive this route daily and these were new to me. No movement. No green or red lights. Just stationary. I saw them for approximately five minutes. The east light disappeared first followed by the westerly light.. very bright. Similar to brightest star in the sky. DK it was not a plane or planet

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.
