A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

While driving southbound on I-5, I observed three bright, round lights moving in an intriguing manner from east to west. These lights exhibited a unique pattern of ascending, descending, and turning horizontally towards the right side of my Tesla. This event occurred between 11:22 PM and 11:25 PM, during the dark night. Among the lights, one was positioned ahead of the other two, which appeared closely aligned. Suddenly, all three lights disappeared and then reappeared and started moving northbound. The object was flat, long, and gradually became transparent as it merged with the night sky as it was descending. Throughout the sighting, the flying object exhibited various directional movements and vanished abruptly. However, it reappeared in mid-air, descending smoothly into a field west of my location. Eventually, the lights disappeared into the trees. Notably, no sound was emitted by this rectangular aircraft. The entire event lasted approximately two minutes, during which I managed to capture some video footage on my phone, while my Tesla's dashboard camera also recorded the incident. Feel free to contact me for my Dashboard camera recording as the file won’t upload onto this report

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.
