Formation over Plain, WA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Camping out on Lake Wenatchee, we were stargazing when we saw a line of lights appear from outside of the stars facing South-East just after 10 pm, left of Venus. The cascade of lights was nearly eight inches long from our perspective. The line of lights then quickly faded from both sides into the night, like the light was shining off of the edge of a disc. There were no sounds or following phenomenon. After looking up comets, meteor showers and anticipated reports of visuals in this area, we could not find evidence of this happening before.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #155677). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
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.
