Light over Dundee, OR
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was facing South in my backyard when I saw two round red lights moving from South to North, I watched them for about five minutes. They were less than 30 degrees above the horizon. There was no moon and these lights were brighter and larger than any star in the sky or a passing airplane. They appeared to be coming towards us because they were getting brighter in red color. The first occurrence was two red lights moving together, one in the lower right position and the other in the upper left flying fairly close to each other. After getting brighter, the lower right one dimmed quickly and then turned white before disappearing. About two minutes later the upper left one did the same thing. This was repeated in the second occurrence. The second occurrence, happened about five minutes after the first occurrence completely disappeared. They followed the exact same pattern. There was no pattern to the pulsing of the red lights. We spoke with the source of the report, and found him to be quite eloquent and sober-minded. We suspect that he is an excellent, and reliable, witness. PD

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.
