Circle over Pt. Townsend, WA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
At 8:45 pm, looking SE, two silent, orange lights appeared, moving north to south and then disappearing up se. Soon after 3 more appeared and followed the same path. There was no noise and they were orange. The photos do not show an orange ball, but from our eyes, that's what we saw. Checking on the weather website there was no wind direction at that time. Thinking they were about 30 degrees. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and she sounded to us to be quite sober-minded. Please see other similar reports for the same date. PD

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.
