On the public record, and still open. A claim, paper, or film — not a finding that it was ours, and not a finding that it was not.
Coloma, CA. Orbish sphere floating in daytime seemed metallic... morphing shape... aura or haze around object.
What was claimed
A single witness observed a sedan-sized orbish sphere that appeared metallic with a haze or aura. It floated slowly, morphing shape from round to other forms, bright silver-gray turning blackish when closest (~150 ft above treeline), then ascended northeast.
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.
Daylight bright day crossed in my sight line above the trees near me. Orbish sphere floating in daytime seemed metallic. Silent morphing shape bright silver gray but also looked black when it was nearest to me approx 150ft away and just above tree line very close. Then up it went northeast towards. Daytime and seemed metallic yet flowing into different shapes of round.
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.

A bright, steady moving star. A few minutes to cross. No strobe. Occupied since 2000. NASA publishes the pass times. Not unidentified.

Starlink trains
A line of equally spaced lights after a launch. The most common string of orbs in current reports. A satellite deployment, not a formation of craft.

Venus and the bright planets
A fixed brilliant point. Does not streak. Does not hover over a street then leave. Often the first misread light in a rural report.

Aircraft, balloons, meteors
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.
