The report, as filed
December 24th 2014 at 6:30 pm i noticed the two dogs in my house where barking erratically,almost in a panic. so i let them out the back door to let them do there business and to have a smoke.as i look up to the north sky i noticed a red light far off into the distance.as there are planes and helicopters fly over constantly.i noticed the light was bright red on the outside but a amber,almost burgundy color on the inside.that's what caught my eye.and what made me continue to watch this light come closer.after sixty seconds of this now,what appears is a red orb is no more then a eighth to a quarter mile away,it slowly circled a radius of what i only can assume a mile radius. disappearing into the tree line then reappear 30 seconds later.from when the object first appeared,to when it was close enough for me to see this was,in fact a U.F.O.to me,was about 3 minutes.startled by its slow moving obvious controlled flight pattern.and let me make this clear. this object! did not have the regulated red and green flashing lights.this object glowed. I immediately ran into the house and grabbed my phone.which was the closest camera to document this event.when i looked up.before i could start filming i noticed there where three.slowly moving one right after the other thru the tree line.i took photos but i couldn't get a shot due to neighbors porch light.how dark it was.and quality of a phone camera.this all occurred for about a minute.the three red orbs flew in a pattern.circling in ten second intervals thru the tree line.making two separate fly by's from my vantage point. i switched my phone to video record.lifted my head up,pressed record.they were gone.it was so dark.and every dog within a ear shot had a bug up there ass,and not putting it lightly.freaking out.i tried to catch a glimpse and couldn't see anything. i grabbed the dogs and put them in the house.a total of 20 seconds of doing so.i went back outside and looked up.to my absolute amazement.the tree red orbs where in a triangle formation.even closer.i pressed record and was able to get a five second recording before my phone shut down.when i say shut down,i mean immediately off.frantically turning my phone back on, i was able to capture one min,five seconds.of these three orbs in a triangle formation.suspended.then it became dark.as it seems they disappeared into a fog. 12/25/14 at rough the same time.6:32 pt i witnessed what seemed to be the same event.three red orbs.following the same flight pattern as the night before.elapsed ten minutes.but south of same vantage point.about 5 to 10 miles away.i cannot one hundred percent confirm,by that vast distance.it was the same event.although it appeared to be.there where also what seemed to be planes and helicopters following these red objects.agian.the distance between me and these objects where to far away to one hundred percent confirm.that it was the same event from the night prior.

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.

After returning home from a long day of work, the sun had set. Being approximately 9:00pm PDT I arrived in my driveway. In accordance to a compass, my driveway faces the front of my house to the north, and the back of my house facing towards the south. My property being centered from street light illumination, allowed the 05/13/2021 clear night sky to appear even more crisp with clarity. As I left my vehicle, walking towards the east, my eyes trailing the night sky came to a violent holt. Frozen in my steps I paused. An object of great vibrant color changing illumination completely silent, hovering in one location to the north east in accordance to my house position. 30 minutes has passed, comparing the object to the east edge of my house, my reference point has not changed. Completely still in the same location the object has not changed position in reference to the edge of my house. As minutes passed, I watched the object display multiple patterns of bright polluting light. Giving off different shapes with each sequence of color change in random grouped order. The lights displayed pure radiant energy. Completely amazed and in utter disbelief, I realize that the object is nothing I have ever witnessed in my entire life. After an hour of constant display, I left my reference point and rushed into my house. Frantically gathering my aunt and cousin. Rushing back to my reference point, the object has only changed its pulsing display of color. Ruling out possible explanations of the object being a plane, helicopter, and or drone. Two hours has passed and the objects stillness questions who revolves around who. My aunt and cousin speechless with confusion. All I want is a closer look. My aunt leaves to return with a pair of binoculars. Winding the focus lense my jaw drops. Centered in my view the object forced vibrant light in split seconds. Red flash, elongated speckled light triangle, green flash, speckled hexagon diamond, blue flash, assortment of speckled lines, white flash, solid speckled perimeter, yellow flash, center and trip to tip. The arrangement has no pattern but a sequence of shapes and mixed colors. The object hasn’t alone. Passing off the pair of binoculars hand by hand, the dazzling shapes and colors was the beginning. In split seconds the color arrangement seized to only a white center orb with a perimeter of white sequenced dots. In this seize of color, four small pin point objects arranged outward from the Initial object and disappeared in all directions. Coming up on 3 hours of the objects fixed position, the color display begins again only in completely different arrangements. Passing from the west to the east, a raising humb of an airplanes engine crosses paths with the object. Reviling the sheer size and blinding illumination compared to the plane’s signal lights. The altitude of the object is unknown but obvious to sit higher then the planes flight path. It has been 3 hours and the objects position begins to change. Seemingly to roll across the sky, the object appears flat, in a slow sweep right to left the object is gone from view 3 hours has passed and it is now 12:00am. The Dazzling color show so quick to end only leaves the dark absence of night in its untouched position.

This was in the NE sector and was about at a 10 O'clock position,noo blinking lights and appeared to be stationery. It appeared to have 1 red light in the middle of it. This WAS NOT a star by any means.

While sitting on the couch, I glanced up and saw a bright circular light flash past the window about 100 ft away. For a split second, I thought it was a plane, but it was too close and traveling too fast, and the light was not like an airplane light but like a ball of electricity. Then I thought it must have been a meteor, but we live in the middle of the woods and I don’t have a clear view of the night sky in the area where this shot past. Whatever it was, it traveled through our woods. I muted the tv because it was shooting so fast in a downward fashion that I fully expected to hear a crash—but heard no sound at all.

Odd, Very Fast Flying, Climbing, flashing Against Sun, Disappearing in Apparent 100,000 Ft+ clouds During Aprox. 60-90 second Period From my vantage point on the rise East of Marysville, with view of the South end of Whidbey Island, the ferries crossing between Clinton and Mukilteo and the middle Olympic Mountains West, South-West of Quilcene and Poulsbo, and facing East, the tops of Mt. Pikchuck and beyond, I spotted a very, very fast-rising, very brilliant flashing craft. The sun was high, aprox. at 2 PM. During the rise, which started above the highest Olympic peak - I see all the highest peaks - I attributed the flashes to sun reflections as the sky was lightly clouded with mostly wispy, very high cover with widely-scattered denser, small cloud groups to the East. This craft appeared at first to be on a collision trajectory with a large, twin engine Boeing, dusty blue fuselage, white wings apparently on the test range route, North, from Paine Field, at approx. 5000 Ft. However this craft passed nearly directly above the Boeing plane, perhaps 3 - 7000 Ft higher. It continued in a straight trajectory East, rising very fast, flashing brilliant bronze, blinding white, and polished aluminum, as if a multi, flat-sided, spinning shape reflected sunlight, or its own powerful, pulsed light that apparently covered the entire structure. On an apparent constant straight climb angle, it was entering the group of denser clouds to the East over the Cascades, I estimate 60, 000 Ft+ altitude. Apperaing to pass through lower clouds, as the flashes and now very small-appearing craft disappeared-reappeared between clouds, the flashing and color continued. At this point I was barely able to discern the craft, except the brilliant flashing continued. However high, it was still on the 35 - 45 degree climb trajectory as it became too small against the moderately blue sky to the East of the clouds it went through. It was happening so fast I didn't think to check my phone for time. I estimate the E.T. to be aprox. 60 - 90 seconds. Served in the Navy and watching Navy Aircraft, as a speed reference, this craft was not particularly much faster than full throttle fighter planes. However, I imagine they would be sorely taxed to catch or intercept, or reach ATA strike velocity. The most remarkable feature was the brilliant, multi metallic colored flashing that covered the entire craft every flash. As this event was a weekday and I'm retired, and I figured the very brief elapsed time and trajectory would likely preclude all, if anyone else observing this with a similar vantage, I didn't search for any place to share my experience. Therefore, all I recall about the date is mid-May. This morning I checked for any search record of this siting. This site came up. I was unaware it exists, and am sharing this now.
