Circle over Portland, WA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
In NE Portland, thought we were looking at Venus & Jupiter. We had an entire conversation about how the planets were not as close as they said it was going to be. There was a large gap between the 2. I mentioned taking a photo, but had left my phone in the car. When we left the dog park, I went to get my phone and they were gone. They were very bright, and no clouds to cover them. Just gone.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #119928). 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.
