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

The report, as filed

At 20:45 on April 6th, 2020, my father and I saw what looked like a star in the Western sky. It then became apparent that it wasn't a star or a satellite. It was omitting a glowing, steady, white light. What made us pay more attention was the fact that it was flying fast at a low elevation. It was traveling from Northwest to Southeast. We then heard the sound of an F-15, which is a common occurrence around where we live. It's a common trail that the Oregon Air National Guard flies their F-15s. It appeared as if the F-15 was attempting to intercept the craft. The craft did not change its speed, and headed South/ Southeast. The F-15 seemingly paced the craft until out of sight, below the horizon. The whole event lasted maybe two to three minutes. We didn't see either the F-15 or the craft again. My dad knew the sound of the F-15 and that is what alerted us to look for it. What was also odd was the fact that the F-15 was flying alone, because we almost always s! ee them flying in pairs.

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.
