Unidentified

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.

Raffi Sarimazian saw six solid orange lights while driving in Fresno on Saturday night; local news video of the cluster.

What was claimed

While driving, witness Raffi Sarimazian observed a cluster of six solid orange lights in the night sky. Local news covered the sighting with video.

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.

Raffi Sarimazian was driving to get dinner off Kings Canyon Road and Clovis Avenue in Fresno on a Saturday night in early September 2026 when he spotted a cluster of six solid orange lights in the night sky. The sighting was reported to and covered by local CBS affiliate, which aired video of the lights. This fits a pattern of recent orange light cluster reports in the area during evening hours.

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.

1998 —

International Space Station

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

2019 —

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.

Always

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.

Always

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.
