The report, as filed
I was outside smoking a cigarette on my front porch and in front right above the baseball field it appeared very bright, like a star but larger with a green tip shoot down the sky and disappear. I would think it was just a shooting star, but it was much brighter and much larger and the green tip threw me off. It also was not a clear night and very dense and cloudy. There were no other stars present.

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 stepped out on to the deck at 5:30 AM looking north. I immediately noticed a light moving ENE. My first thought was a satellite. As I watched it for about 10 seconds, I noticed a dimmer light just ahead also moving in the same direction. They moved into the haze from the wildfires to the east and disappeared. I was just about to turn around and go back inside when I saw to the west 4 more lights moving in the same direction. They were fairly close together, though not in a straight line. They were visible long enough for me to retrieve my binoculars from the bookshelf just inside the house, and train it on one of the objects. It was bright white with no colors showing. I watched them for about 45 seconds until they faded away.

Looking north twoards local airport: North Bend,Or. (OTH) I often check the sky for sattlelite activity coming onto USA soil from western pacific area. This object was lower than usual sattelite views. It was quite "Yellowish Bright" . I thought maybe it was the International Space Station, But the local media"s did not forewarn? I notified the Seattle office of the FAA /unusual sightings.

Coos Bay, OR
On July 31st, me and three other campers camping at ten mile lake near Coos Bay, Oregon, saw a single orange circle floating in the sky. We walked out to investigate, and as we were walking another light was there. We initially thought that the second light must have been behind it and we couldn't see, due to our angle. But later realized the second light just appeared. They then moved in a circular motion, got brighter and then smaller and disappeared.
