Light over Sunriver, OR
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was laying in bed looking out my window which faces west towards Mt. Bachelor and Venus -- as it was setting. I was admiring the brightness of Venus and then a bright flash caught my eye. I noticed it again ( in the same spot ) thinking it was a plain. Then I didn't see it again for about 4 seconds. Then I saw it appear again -- oddly a little be higher up then where it was before and I was waiting for it to appear horizontally like a plane light. Over the course of about 10 seconds the light gradually grew fainter as it flashed moving up -- by this time it was above Venus. When originally, it was far to the right of it. The light then vanished.

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.

I had just mounted 2 guitar holder/ wall mounts in my vacation cabin, while taking pictures these 2 to 3 small orbs of light surrounded me, darting around for around 20-30 seconds. I was scared at first, but there was no threatening feeling. I fumbled my iPhone and got it on to video mode and caught them flying around the room before they disappeared as fast as they showed up- instantly. I have this on my iPhone, and transferred to my laptop. I looked up small light orbs in a search and saw the 'Florida security camera catches orb image' video on Youtube- they looked EXACTLY like that.
