A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I awoke late at night and went to the kitchen to get a drink, then decided I wanted a cup of tea, so I put the water on and sat down at the table. I have two large windows 3ft×6ft one faces east and slightly South, the other South and slightly West, so I have a great deal of sky visible, I often sky watch at night. Last night was cloudy and I noticed no stars were visible from the East window as I put the water on but when I sat down one VERY bright star was in the southern sky. I watched it for a few minutes wondering what star it was and noticed it seemed to be bouncing around just a bit so I decided to take a video of it. It didn't turn out well, as I couldn't keep it centered (that's all on me) so I took a couple of snapshots of it and was trying to video it again, when it simply blinked out! While I was contemplating what had just happened, I made my tea and sat down to look at the pictures I had taken and was stunned by the saucer shaped object quite plainly there where the star should have been. I didn't see it while looking at it with just my eyes. I sat drinking my tea, watching out of the window when when I saw it again about 60 degrees west and much higher. I quickly took several more photos this was about 3:15am. It blinked out again and appeared farther away yet and my cellphone camera could no longer photograph it.

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.

I was heading northbound on White Trails rd between quincy wa and wenatchee wa on my way to wenatchee wa. I was a couple miles south of 28 w when up in the sky, above my truck, from east to west, a red orb lower than a plane ought to have been, between 500-1000 ft, went across the sky faster than any aircraft I have ever seen. No sound, exhaust or tail. It seemed like a shooting star but way slower and no tail. It was the weirdest aerial phenomenon I have ever seen. It crossed the entire sky in a matter of seconds.

Two lights seen in the south west evening sky. The lights moved in synchronized fashion. One light appeared to “drop” another light from it. Lights moved together then apart twice at evenly timed intervals. Lights would appear, disappear and appear in different location. Poor quality cell phone video was taken

Went outside to smoke and I seen this light come out of nowhere. And then I stood outside and I watched it for about 20 minutes and then I called my next-door neighbor out and we stood there for about an hour and watched it. And during the whole hour and a half or so this object never moved. I thought it was a droin, or a satellite balloon or the planet Venus. Then I called my friend who lives in East Wenatchee and I asked if he could see it and he said yes. But then I go outside and hour and 15 minutes later and it still there and then all of the sudden it takes off superfast and then it’s nowhere in sight. I wrote about it in our town Facebook page and apparently a lot of people caught this on Camera. And said that it’s been happening often since last summer. It’s my first account of any such thing. According to my friend in East Wenatchee & other video recordings that were made when I seen it fly off it really wasn’t gone it had moved to over the mountain . But it is all over town‘s Facebook page. My video is a bit shaky but if you look on Wenatchee rants and raves then you will see under my posting other videos that were taken last night.

Was woken up to a loud swishing sound, and saw a bright light bluish green, with white tail. Was sleeping at my customer, when my truck shook, woke up and seen the light.
