Light over Brownsville (on I-5 highway), OR
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We spotted a bright light as we got onto our exit (216) and noticed a bright white light getting brighter (Like headlights) and closer going South and stopped our car to observe. It went over us and curved East. There were orange/red lights on the bottom and on the back and we noted it had a triangular shape. It was moving too fast and low to be an airplane with no blinking lights but too slow to be a meteor. It seemed to zig-zag as it flew away and disappeared in the distance.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #124434). 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.
