Triangle over Cosmopolis, WA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
So, I was called outside by my two little brothers who were saying that there were glowing planes flying outside. I got up to go see them and saw the three lights in the sky. I ran back and searched for a plane tracker and saw that there were no planes flying close by. I grabbed my Ipod and ran back out and took 1 picture and 2 videos. Through my eye I could barely make the shape of the middle object (they were in a line) and saw that it was a triangular shape. Also the lead object lit up brightly, about as bright as the moon.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #115457). 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.
