Light over Eagle Point, OR
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Me and my wife were sitting on our back porch, watching the meteor shower. And directly above us I noticed a very bright light slowly moving a crossed the sky. Brightest light in the sky and much larger then any star light. It was moving very slowly without making a sound. It was traveling from the North to the South. After a over minute of it just slowly moving in a straight line, we realized it wasn't a meteor or a plane we could explain. Then it slowly changed from a bright white light to a soft orange glow and seemed to get smaller and just disappeared right in front of our eyes.

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 returning from the Chevron station on Central Point Hwy to my home in Eagle Point on Agate Rd. I turned left onto Hwy 234 and just before crossing Dodge Bridge over the Rogue River, I saw a large blue streak of light on a fast downward path. It appeared like a fireball or meteor, but was not high in the sky to seem to be piercing the atmosphere, but rather a crashing craft. The blue light streak was wide like a comet tail with what appeared to be pieces of debris in its path. The direction of the downward path was from right to left and appeared like a craft could have been crashing near Table Rock. I drove to Rainey's Market and the gas station at the corner to see if anyone else had seen the flash of light. The store manager was just closing, and had only seen 2 police vehicles that had driven past in less than 5 minutes. While talking to him, 2 more sheriff cars drove past us towards Table Rock road, and I followed them to see if they were going to the scene of a crash. They appeared to be on their regular route though, and weren't driving in a hurry. No lights or sirens. I drove around Table Rock, looking for any signs of unusual activity or fire in the area from a crash site and didn't see anything else. I returned home to listen to the local scanner, and haven't heard anything out of the ordinary either. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he agreed that there is a strong possibility that the object was a meteor, possibly a meteor from the Perseid Meteor shower. PD

I was out running thinking about how much I hate Chemtrails, when I notice what I first thought was a airplane. Then after looking closer realized there were five craft flying in formation. 2 in front flying parallel to each other perfectly. Then 3 in the back which were changing formation but occasionally taking a v-shape formation, also constantly changing their formation at one time they were even all lined up straight but flying so close that I think it would be considered exstreamly dangerous. I saw them fly for about a whole minute they were very light and coloration almost White. They flew east to west. They flew lower that the clouds. The 2 in front did not change formation the whole time. The strangest part about the whole experience were the three crafts in such close proximity to each other changing formation I just don't know of any craft that could do that.

Traveling east on hwy 140 just outside of Eagle Point, three men, ages 23, 35 and 62 (whome is retired air force and currently still flys civilian small aircraft) all witnessed a large bright metallic oval traveling south to north at an incredible speed. The object then zig zagged up at 45 degree angles, hovered for roughly 1 full minute, before disappearing like someone turned off a light switch.

This happened over Table Rock in Southern Oregon. There were two lights, one brighter than the other. They were moving side to side and it seemed as if one was moving closer and the other moving away, then as if a switch was turned off they both disappeared. Not sure if this has anything to do with it, but its been really hot this year.
