Light over Rice, WA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My son and i were playing out side and decided to lay down on our backs and look at the sky changing to night, and as wee did we observed a very large bright lightmoving north to south and then just blink out. It was huge so to be seen at least 30 thousand feet up.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #113791). 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.

I was watching the stars and noticed one of the "stars" started moving slowly. After about 6" of travel (from my perspective) it disappeared. I am always looking for satellites, but this object was definitely still, then moved slowly and then vanished. I'm reminded of the scene from Close Encounters of the Third Kind when they were looking up at the Big Dipper in the sky, and then it suddenly started moving towards them, and then broke up into the separate moving lights. This was much like that in appearance. Thank you.
