Circle over Glacier, WA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My husband and friend where walking our dog, when they saw a large orange reddish circle or ball in the western night sky. It was not a plane or an helicopter because there were no flashing lights and the way it moved. It moved side way with a quick burst of speed then it would stop and hover for seconds then move side way back the way it came from. There also was no sound. My husband also called me outside which I did to see the ball as well. We saw the ball repeat moving side to side and stop and hover for a bit then it flickered and disappeared. It was very high in the night sky and for being so high it was quite large. Never saw anything like it before.

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.
