Circle over Los Angeles, Fontana, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I routinely look up at the night sky especially when full moons are out and seen something floating around just east of the moon. It was circle shaped and it's brightness would undulate through various shades of white light. I started recording with my phone camera and when I zoomed the details showed something completely different from what I could see. The shape looks like an elongated oval with a void in the center that's circular in shape. I drove home to see it flash in and out just above the horizon during the freeway drive & when I got home it returned to it's original sighting spot next to the moon. There was only one of these objects and the whole thing lasted about 2 hours. I am the only observer. I was actually working at my second job at the LA yard moving trucks to different cities containing customer furniture. By day I am a Letter Carrier for USPS.

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.
