Disk over Dutch Harbor, AK
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I am a 73 year old Vietnam Marine vet. Presently I don’t drink or due any drugs nor have I ever had an addition to those vices. I have never observed a UFO until I took several pictures with my Sony ax7 camera mounted on a tripod from my room at the Grand Alution Hotel. It was a full moon night with a great view of the harbor. Without adjusting or moving the camera I took several shots. Only in 4 pictures out of 8 did these blue/green saucer images appear. They were faint at first but came closer and traveled from a clouded area and to the left. I will send you the sequence of photos so you can evaluate them and please let me know if this is really a UFO sighting?

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.
