Unknown over Colbert, WA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My husband and I were outside playing with our dog in the evening. We live in the country and the sky was almost completely dark at this time. Suddenly, the sky lit up in the brightest and most vibrant lights we'd ever seen. There were three separate flashes, all different colors. These three flashes occured several times. We ran down the street to see if we could see anything, and no sooner did my father-in-law come out of the house and ask about the lights he saw through the window. We did not see a Craft, but we knew it was otherworldly.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #160741). 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.

While watching an overhead aircraft making its way from east to west, I saw a perfectly round silver metallic object pacing it . The object (UFO) was going at the exact speed of the aircraft, it was located slightly off the planes right side.... as I was looking up at it. There were fluffy clouds in the sky, and the plane and ufo were above them. The plane was not so high as to cause a vapor trail or exhaust. The round ufo was perfectly round, like a perfect drop of water. It had depth to it, like a perfect drop of water. I did video this with my phone, but its blurry, fuzzy and useless.

A Commercial plane flies past with a ufo pacing it perfectly, it was matching its speed and height, is was about 200 feet behind and down just a bit, as to avoid the turbulence from the commercial flight. We watched and there was some background clouds coming up so we could see if this ufo was just some sort of engine wash image but the ufo shape and form did not change as the cloud - which was white- sharpened the ufos image as we watched, we didn’t have our phones - so no image. We watched as they flew to the east and we couldn’t see them anymore. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and she sounded to us to be quite capable and sober-minded. She is quite eloquent in her description of the sighting, and she holds a very responsible job. PD

I was driving down the road to my house. I witnessed a large and low hovering disk shaped craft with four purple lights along the bottom. Craft was surrounded by a blue/purple haze. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD
