Other over North bend, WA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was waiting at the traffic light in town when I looked over to my right, above mailbox peak. What I saw was a very small, "U" shaped cloud-like object. It had sharp points at the top, and was thicker at the bottom, almost what you would expect a dramatic meteor to look like. It was moving so slowly that I at first thought it was a stationary cloudlet. As I continued to look, I noticed it steadily closing the gap between itself and the horizon, and it disappeared over the mountain.. Never seen anything like that before, but I would love an explanation.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #160979). 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.
