Circle over Yuba City, CA

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

The report, as filed

UFO appeared as a slow shooting star just outside of orbit, then realized it was UFO by its zigzag pattern. I flashed SOS to ship multiple times. It disappeared after 45 sec going south. Then reappeared east beginning to flash its external light in response to my flashlight it was now bigger as It was closer slightly. Like a passenger plane it remained zigzagging and then shot off at the speed of light south. Leaving a trail of light for half a second.

Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #179295). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

Was sitting outside with friends. An bright orange orb appeared high above us. It was still for a couple seconds before moving east. We watched as it moved across the sky a vanished in the same way it appeared.

Shape: Triangle Sound: None - Dead quiet no wildlife Visible color/Markings: 0 markings, Black Recount: I was watching for the comet neowise I believe it was, I came across a patch of sky blacked out in a perfect triangle. The edges of the shape refracted the stars, imagine chromatic aberration and distorted/difuesed stars that somehow stop existing past the edge while appearing curved into nothing. There was no noise. There was no abnormalities aside from literally negative space where there should have been stars. I looked at the clock at 9:45 that night, look back at it and somehow it was 11:45. My attention to detail is extremely high ask my col from rotc, I dont miss details. Period. Not saying I was abducted but I am a loss of what I saw and my missing time. I have had Urinary issues since and the doctors are still trying to figure out what's wrong. Similar to the missing time I experienced as a child when in the corn field with my father who's former Navy Nuclear Submariner and sister many years ago, no one was able to find me then I turned the corner and was found after a long time im told. I guess they like me if UAPs are the cuase. I do often get random I guess flashes or singular memory of looking at a short grey face with big black eyes but that could be just a memory from or movie or something thats stuck in my head but I dont know its all very confusing for me because I cant recall any movie ive seen like that. I get a fear emotion but like I wait to be told how it affects me at the same time like hesitant emotional response. Its rare i have that kind of memory and I am doing my best to avoide sounding like a conspiracy nut but its the truth. I am reporting this to my government because it's my responsibility to as a citizen and a patriot to provide my government with intelligence although it be late. Late due to me not wanting to sound or appear a nut as well as not wanting to waste my governments time with inactionable intelligence. I love science, facts are food. Beale Air Force base is located north east of event location within 30 miles I believe, it clearly evaded radar. This is the truth with all details I can remember, if aliens are real I would like to meet them, fear is a response to the unknown which can quickly turn to interest and appreciation. Thank you for your time.
