Changing over Irrigon, OR
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We could see white, green, yellow lights. It moved as if it was scanning. It was very still for a minute then did some moving to the right then in altitude then lower, after a couple more minutes it went even further in altitude til we could no longer see it.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #126379). 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.
