Unknown over Sinclair Island, WA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Four distant white dots (lights similar to Satelites) were observed moving across the Northern sky over San Juan Islands, WA. Objects were synchronized in an eastern pointing line traveling due east (traveled from center sky and out of sight to the east in ca.20”-40”. At first the four objects were evenly spaced, however throughout sighting individual objects slowed and accelerated independently within line. Objects appeared to be very high in atmosphere and to be traveling quickly - observably quicker than average satellite sighting (consensus of all present). No sound was heard. One observer (ex-military) hypothesized high flying military jets (interesting as it was Memorial Day weekend). Those who observed objects were not convinced as to this explanation. All agreed they had never seen anything similar before.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #146502). 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.
