Light over san francisco, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
A solid blue light moving through the high fog from West to East at a rapid pace. It illuminated the surrounding fog in a diffused blue color. The light was only blue, not blinking and there was no sound. I would estimate the altitude to be a thousand feet up. It travelled in a straight line until it vanished after about 45 seconds.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #177077). 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.
