Unknown over King County (above), WA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Woke up to see odd feature, a bright flashing. Thought it was a very odd satellite and then noted movement. I could see varying colors of lights, red definitely, then green and white. They appeared to rotate horizontally. I placed a 1/2" sticky dot on my window pane and stood in a position so that the dot blocked the object. It moved slowly but steady to the south after hovering at each spot for several minutes. It was too high to be a helicopter. Too deliberate to be a plane. I watched it for 1.5 hours then returned to sleep. I'll be looking for it again.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #122565). 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.
