Formation over Frederickson, WA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Approaching from the east-heading west were (3)very bright red diamonds. the (2) in the rear appeared closer to each other than to the leading diamond. Inside the diamonds were a vertical and also a horizontal red light in a cross pattern. As the objects got closer, I opened my window and could hear nothing. I watched the objects pass over and thought it looked to be a triangular shape but it looked clear. For this reason I'm not sure if it was a "V" shaped object with the red triangles at all 3 points or if it was (3) seperate objects! I then went to a west window and watched the objects head towards McChord Air Force Base. (( We spoke at length with the witness, and he sounded to us to be quite serious, and sober-minded.

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.
