Light over Desert Aire, WA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My son and I were barbequing on our back deck during half time of the Oregon/WSU game. My son said "look, a sattelite!". Then we both saw one trailing the first. They both stopped! Then it looked like something took a shot at them with some type of particle weapon (looked like a shooting star went right between them). After the shot, they left on a reciprocal course back to the southwest. The shot (or whatever it was) appeared to come from the Yakima Firing center. It was not a rocket, way too fast. This all appeared to happen outside of the atmosphere. I am a science teacher and my son is an electrical engineer.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #150433). 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.
