Light over SeaTac, WA

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

The report, as filed

I want to report that at 3:31am, the morning of April 13th, 2020 I observed through my bedroom window some strange lights. There about 5 or more bright lights which seemed to be milling around in a clockwise manner. They were so bright it reminded me of a beacon type light. But they may have been at a distance of 10 miles away. Although this seemed strange I did not go outside to investigate further as I don’t feel safe outside at night. About 4am I looked again and saw the moon but not any more of the lights. I live about 3 miles east of SeaTac airport and wonder if anyone that works in their control tower might have seen something. I live alone, am 87 years old and spent my working life working with mechanical things such as bus engines for Metro and ship engines in the Navy.

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.

SeaTac, WA

I work at SeaTac Airport and was working on a jetbridge around 10 pm. While I was looking skyward to see some equipment, a moving object caught my eye. It appeared to be a flying wing marked on the underside with 4 sharp-angled chevrons with contrasting shading. It was a VERY dark object, with no illumination at all. It was travelling due south at a consistent speed. There appeared to be no organic ancillary movement like a bird would demonstrate; it definitely moved with mechanical fluidity. I could not determine with any certainty the size, elevation, or speed of the object due to the lack of visual scale cues. It was in my field of vision for only about 10 or 15 seconds after which I could no longer detect it in the dark sky. Most strange was the fact that it was directly above SeaTac International Airport. Observer is a 40 year old male in good health.
