Circle over Ponderosa, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Three of my neighbors or more witnessed this white disk this morning and it hovered for hours then flew north and returned hours later at 3PM and is still here. That's what's so strange.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #177899). 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.
