Light over Tacoma/Graham, WA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was driving down a back road out here and all the sudden on my left driver side I saw up in the sky a BRIGHT light MOVING very FAST and in one direction...at first I thought..OH shooting star..then I realized it was UNDER the clouds...it was very fast and a bright WHITEISH blue... COULDN'T see the shape because everything was blocked by the light it gave off..I got a good look so I know it wasn't a man made craft or a shooting star..so that leaves one option...UFO... BEINGS NOT FROM HERE!!

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.
