Poway, California, USA Aug 6, 2026... disk zoom across the sky... metallic reflection... greenish cloud above it.
What was claimed
While photographing an unusual storm, the witness and family saw a disk zoom across the sky at hypersonic speed with no sound. The long-exposure photo captured the metallic disk with a visible trail and possible greenish cloud/wormhole above it.
What is on the record
This file is a working record — a report, not a verdict. Official paper, if any, is linked where we have it.
I was in the yard watching a strange weather event in Poway and took an exposure photo, but while taking it, saw something zoom past and photoed it. I was in my backyard with my mom and sister and we were watching an unusual storm in the distance but then I took an exposure photo on my iPhone and while setting up my phone to be still we saw a disk zoom across the sky faster than I could blink with no sound. Estimated Speed: high hypersonic speeds. Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object.
Could this have been ours?
The known sky, that night.
The station, the trains, and the rest of the known sky were already there. Hold the claim next to them.

Landing lights, flares, lanterns, reentries, fireballs. They are on the known sky. They do not close a file by themselves — they are what a serious look has to hold the claim against.
