Circle over Salem oregon, OR
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was taking scene pics of clouds to paint and kept seeing a weird ball moving all over in odd directions and took shutter pics as it's moving. On January 10th 2019 then again in March 19th 2019. Then a few more with 3 helicopters following it south from salem. During these times we also had earthquakes at the the coast the helicopters heading South from location of pic. I have more of these pics different times dates. I have a few clear ones I find extremely odd that made me reach out to this.

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.
