As reported

Light over Rockaway Beach, OR

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

Looking eastward while unhooking a utility trailer, I looked up and it was a brighter moonlit night and just above a small mountain horizon running left to right (north to south) for about 30 seconds I watched a faster than airplane light moving and then before it went over the horizon the light went out.

Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #154241). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

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.

Rockaway Beach, OR

Coming from south west in what appeared a link or train. 35 or so lights. They appear to have been in our atmosphere so not satellite. But i could be wrong. They traveled in groups to 4 and 5 heading north east.

Rockaway Beach, OR

We were staying up late to ring in the new year. While looking at the stars, we all saw a few tiny orange lights in the sky. They flew erratically and were bright orange in color. Two flew south and disappeared immediately, while one took some time before getting smaller and vanishing. Two more could be seen in the distance.
