Flash over Kittitas/Ellensburg, WA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My girlfriend and I were on I-90 headed west when we both saw a low flashing light about 30-50 feet from the ground traveling at a high rate of speed flashing every second. The object was traveling parallel to the freeway heading east. It was about 100-150 feet away from us as it passed by. I couldn't see a shape or any sign of a ship. Just the flashing light and as it got close it was very dark behind the light. When the flashing light passed us, I looked and to see how far it was going, I was that it keep flashing at the same speed still heading east. The speed that it was traveling was more then 150 mph. I really want to know what I saw tonight.

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.
