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.

We were driving across highways around north plains OR and 3 of us saw a medium sized flash above the trees slightly in the sky. It lit up the sky for a second and flew away in an instant as if it was going hyperspace from a movie and we couldn’t see it after a split second.

It moved southwest farther away behind a tree branch and I could no longer see it. I went into my bedroom and could see it out the window. Still the same just smaller, farther away. I got my binoculars and could see it more clearly. I was amazed! I watched it for 40 minutes. I went to get my phone to google it. When I came back it was gone. The sky was dark. I don’t know if it was just a reflection but I could have sworn the colored lights were streaming (not sure of the right word) toward the bottom and flashing. The light was about 60 degrees from the horizon. I live at about 1000’. The object was SW from me in the valley, toward Forest Grove area. I reported this on MUFON.

My roommate ran in the house and told me to come outside quick and look at this object in the sky. I came running out and I seen a disk shaped object, looking grey, it was slowly moving crossed the horizon, much slower then a plane would move. It did not have any lights on it or any other noticeable features. I could not see any wings or propulsion device. It kept moving until it went behind some tree's and I could not see it any more. My girlfriend and two other roommates saw this and one of my roommates got a picture of it. My son also saw it.

This last Saturday (sic. Sunday), my roommate started frantically yelling for me to come outside and look up in the sky.. That's when I saw the the flying saucer.. It had moved into the valley right behind my house! I called for the others to come out and we all watched as it hovered for a while, wobbling on it's axis.. Then it banked hard at 40 deg's and dropped altitude… If I had to guess, I'd say it reduced it's altitude from 150 ft to maybe 65 ft before I lost it behind some tall tree's.. We only got 1 pic of it before the camera decided to turn off.. We live in a very rural area on Pumpkin Ridge, in North Plains.. It looked like it was heading up the Ridge so I jumped in the car and decided to try to chase it down.. but I never got it back into view..
