Changing over Smokey Point Arlington, WA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Oct. 6, 2017 I was photographing a tree and saw a bright orb zip through the cosmos! It came past the moon and to earth, hovering above me. It then hid behind the light post as it split apart into flying ships. See through ships of different shapes. Oval, circles, lots of windows on the different levels. I thought it was a minute or two, but the date time stamps on photos prove that 12 minutes of time elapsed. They had no sound, and were very quick! They disappeared. I posted the photos on Facebook and tried to report this to you once before. There was a see through circle around each ship. Bluish green hue.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #170495). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
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.
