Sphere over Woodland, WA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
2 white sphere shaped UFOs flying at roughly 3000 feet elevation. They were flying very close too each other and one was bigger than the other. They were both either white or reflective (hard to tell). They were flying quite slow for about 90 seconds then speed up rapidly and I lost visual. They also made a deep humming like noise that was far different from any airplane or helicopter I have heard before . There was also a slight glow around object. Immediately after I lost visual of the 2 UFOs there was an unmarked plan that entered the area and I believe it was pursuing the 2 UFOs.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #157889). 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.

The object was moving against the wind - no noise, High cirrus clouds were moving with the wind and it was going against the wind. Was viewed twice - once at 4PM and again at about 445 when I was on the way back on a Kayak. No noise, no contrail nothing. Also it moved slow, then quick, then appeared not to move, then would move away again.

I arrived just before 5:00 am to fish in the morning at the Merwin fish hatchery boat ramp in Woodland, WA. Looking towards the west above the tree line I saw a bright light and after a few seconds I noticed it moving at a steady pace heading towards me in the west. I started recording the object on my phone about 10 seconds from the time I noticed it. It continued to fly west above my head until it disappeared behind the horizon directly on the other side of the dam at Merwin reservoir. While watching the object the bright light stayed illuminated at the same brightness ever after passing overhead as if the entire outside of the object was illuminated. The object appeared to be close enough and bright enough that I would be able to see the red and green navigation lights found on planes. It also seemed close enough that I would be able to hear the sound of an engine. The area was completely silent and I was the only one there for the first 75% of the encounter. My friend John arrived as it was in the west where I ended the video and showed him the object. Both of us were unable to explain the encounter.

I was on my lunch break at a construction site on 300 N Pekin Rd in Woodland, WA, and decided to take some pictures of the clouds to the South of our site and after I looked at the picture there was an image in my picture that couldn't be seen with the naked eye.
