Light over Eagle point, OR
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was driving my friend home when as clear as day I see something shoot across the sky over the hills, Weirdly enough it didn’t have a light trail. My friend was there to hear my reaction but wasn’t able to see it himself because he was on his phone. I wouldn’t consider my self crazy and I believe in logical explanations but I’m failing to see the logic in this. The visual reminded me of a video I once saw of a tracer fire light but appearing to have come from the sky. I suppose there was a little bit of a light trail but not like one you would see from a shooting star. Was definitely not a shooting star.

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.
