Other over Sunnyside, WA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Driving on my night route as a medical courier, I took my exit to go into Sunnyside, WA, (exit 69). I noticed a weird white line in the sky. At first I thought it was a cloud break, but the more I kept looking at it I came to realize that it just didn't fit, it was a cloud break. The sun was red (due to all of the smoke from recent fires) and was on the horizon. When I got to my stop, I watched it, and realized it was moving slowly. I then took a picture and video. Youtube link: https://youtu.be/uvi8jPMNKCg The white line was indeed moving very slowly, and eventually faded away. Later on in the night around 10pm around Prosser, WA, I did see some flashing orbs, but can not confirm those because I was driving and could have been a reflection of my van's windows. But it was in the same Northwestern sky. Thank You. 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.

I was driving and I thought it was only a light reflection and then the light started to move east but it looked nothing like an airplane and was way to low in the sky to be a shooting star. The light was about 3,000 maybe 4,000 feet in the air I estimate. One of the light disappeared and then one kept going for a while and then disappeared.

We were looking out side when two lights just appeared. Not moving just hovering, this happened last week too, but then it was three of them, but those were in the evening. Planets in the eastern morning sky? PD

I automatically wake up to find him pointing in the sky "look!!" I look over my right side to find 4 lights beaming and moving left then right so smooth I am convince it's not a plane! One disappears into the distance then heads higher in sky. The three other lights are still there still as can be then at the same smooth pace they vanish heading towards the hill and deeper into the sky as the other one that had taken off first left straight up into the sky in a instant.

Amend previous report: It was heading West-Northwest, not East. Got confused. Sorry.
