Light over colton, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
The two round green lights moved at a high rate of speed. Faster than any helicopter or drone could possibly go. I don’t think a jet can move that fast. The lights flashed. As each flash the object would move about a mile. It went out about 10 miles and stopped and hovered for a few minutes then shot back the opposite way . It seemed to stopped once it passed me and hover and even turn around, then turned back and left. It had a glow around it but a light one.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #179108). 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.
