Light over Westport, WA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
A very bight light entering the atmosphere. Turned to level flight then it traveled at level flight to a point in the sky and stopped.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center. 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.

My fiance and myself went to the westport marina to watch the fireworks at approximately 10 pm on july 4th 2019 when we noticed a ball on fire floating across the sky, but spinning it would burn out after a few minutes but stay solid black flying like it had a purpose towards the ocean towards ocean shores then after it was almost out of view we noticed two more following the first one doing exactly the same thing making absolutely no noise. It wasn't fireworks I'm sure. An older army vet next to us witnessed this too he said he never saw anything like that in his life he said it didn't look military or like a drone.

3 steady white lights brightness and size of stars in triangle shape observed 30 degrees above horizon in east going east. Spacing between lights approximately 1-1.5 full moons. Slow and steady movement east for 30 seconds observed. All faded out at same time much like a satellite. We spoke with the witness, and he seemed to us to be quite eloquent, sincere, and sober-minded. We will check to see whether the objects might have been the three Chinese satellites, which currently orbit the Earth in a triplet formation. PD
