Changing over Wamic, OR
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
When I looked over at the mountain over the mountain there was a very faint star and then a upside down triangle appeared as faintly as the star, but it was bright enough I could tell the shape. The stars were in the shape of an upside down triangle. Then it faded out and disappeared. It would fade in and out. It then changed shape into a big cluster of stars when it faded back in. Then faded out. Then changed again to the triangle shape when it faded back in. There was a moment that there looked like a blue orb like something had exploded. It did not look like I was seeing something in our atmosphere I felt like I was watching a war in space. I tried to wake my boyfriend up to show him, but his eyes wouldn’t focus and he went back to bed. I sat and watched it for about 5 more minutes and then went back to bed. When I woke up at 3am a couple hours later there was nothing there. All was faded out and did not fade back in. Even the faded star that stayed in the sky during the hole episode. The sky’s have been too cloudy to see since then.

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.
