Unknown over La Pine, OR
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
It was a bright blue sunny day when I was in my backyard when I heard two airplanes in the southeast sky. They sounded like they could be fire planes and since we live in an area of extreme fire danger we are always on the alert for fire activity this time of year. When I looked up and saw the first plane and it was moving to the south, at that time, I noticed a bright shiny object that looked like it could be in the path of the plane. When the plane passed behind the object, I realized the object was closer to me. That's when I noticed it wasn't moving at all, just stationary and not moving. I was trying to process what this was that I was seeing, another plane, helicopter, weather balloon etc. But I am sure what I was seeing was not any of those! As the second plane approached the craft was still not moving, and still in the same spot, and then all the sudden it just disappeared, vanished, gone!

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.
