Triangle over Fairview, OR
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I looked up and there was a lit triangle shape craft flying low and was much larger than a plane. I knew it wasn't a plane because none of the lights were flashing, they were all white and they weren't arranged where lights would usually be on an airplane. Aside from the two lights at the base of what triangle there were two lights at the tip. It somehow got from one side of the sky to the other in maybe a second and then vanished. I was in such aw I didn't have time to grab my phone and I can only hope that someone got it on video.

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.
