Triangle over Orting, WA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
On 1-23-2016, I and four others were pulling into my drive way from being out of town for a while. When we had noticed a most beautiful upright dimond shape orange reddish light standing out from a black cloud background. I had gotten out of the truck and stood there for a couple of minutes. Then I had my buddy go and get my mother. From the 2-3 mins it took him to go and get her, the most soothing light that I had ever seen gently faided upward, or backward, into the dark black clouds with ease, as it was in no hurry.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #125429). 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.
