Unknown over Garfield, WA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I did not see any objects in the sky. I did hear an extremely loud aircraft but was unable to see anything when I looked for it. The sky was clear at that time. The sound went from west to east. Air traffic in the Spokane area is sometimes heard, this was not like any of those 'planes. I was in the Air Force, married to an air traffic controller, some knowledge of aircraft. This was unusual in that it was quite loud, but I was unable to see anything. My son also heard this at the same time. I mentioned it to him & we both looked for it. Please see second similar report from Palouse, WA, for the same date. PD

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.
