Other over Issaquah/Hobart, WA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Last night around midnight I saw 3 or 4 ribbons of light in the sky above Issaquah South of Issaquah. The lights seemed to be long in shape and going down words. I watched them for 5 minutes before they disappeared behind trees. Didn't seem to be UFO's but more like slow moving long lights. This area is popular for parasailing but not in the middle of the night AKA Tiger Mountain area. I would estimate they were 6 miles away from my location.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #161679). 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.
