Circle over Hanford Nuclear facility (near), WA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Both of us witnessed a very pretty round turquoise object suddenly appear on the left side of the road over a field. We couldn't tell the distance but if you think of the size of the moon from an earthly observance, it was about 2/3 of that size. It didn't look spherical, just a round flat turquoise colored image. It stayed there for about 2 seconds then zoomed away very fast till it disappeared. It left no trail or fire. Very intriguing.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #110648). 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.
