Formation over North Snohomish, WA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My son and I were driving Northbound on Bickford Ave just about to take the on ramp to Highway 2 when the sky lit up and there was an oddly shaped bright white light in the clouds. The shape was hard to make out because it was in the clouds but it looked to be diamond shape with streamers of light coming off of it. It happened fast but didn’t appear to be lightning or move. It seemed stationary. I saw it, then looked at my son, he then asked me “what kind of drone was that dad”? Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. 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.
