Light over Dayville, OR
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I first saw a steady string of lights traveling in a straight line west to east evenly spaced at first then several followed some distance apart. Appeared like satellites but was able to view them for a much longer time and slightly larger then most satellites I have viewed in the past and they did not have that tumbling appearance. They appeared to be circular and they emitted an steady reflective type light. This was seen by my wife and daughter. Was surprised to see other reports of similar viewings when I typed in "string of lights across night sky.

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.
