Oval over Roosevelt, WA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
This can be seen from here, but, it is in the southern sky and looks to be over in Oregon. I saw it moving side to side then drop down lower and come back up, it is reddish and bright. Called my husband to come see it and without me telling him what it was doing, he said, "you mean that red light that's going up and down and moving," now 22:07 and went out to see if still there. It has dropped lower in sky and is now making maneuvers like a bee going from flower to flower!! It is too far away for a photograph. A plane could not move like this object is doing. We are retired, middle class people.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #121642). 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.
