Oval over SeaTac Airport, WA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
At first I thought it was just someone playing with a drone because it was moving around all over the place, but it kept moving in a relatively straight line until it was out of view. The object had a faint ring around it and it stayed about the same size the entire time it was visible.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #129512). 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.
