Unknown over Vantage, WA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My friend and I were driving eastbound, after waiting for an accident to be cleared off I-90, we both had a memory laps of roughly 15-45 minutes and had feelings of "being in a trance or dream state," staring at the moon and seeing faces, feeling paralyzed. The last thing I remember was the giant red metal train bridge you pass under just before Vantage, we have no recollection of crossing the Columbia River on the bridge or seeing the wild horses monument or George, WA. We both "came too" sometime after George, WA, and being confused as neither of us could remember anything about crossing the bridge. The moon was 3 times its normal size and bright red, I couldn't stop starring at it and it made me uneasy I kept seeing screaming faces in it. It felt like I was dead or dreaming, this morning my friend called me and talked more about how confusing everything was and he asked me to check if there was blood on my pillow as he experienced nose bleeding for the! first time ever.....there was blood on my pillow. I am a reasonable guy and honestly never buy into anything like this and if my friend had not experienced the same thing I would not have thought anything of it, if anyone saw anything in WA last night please write an article.

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.
