Light over Anacortes and Coupeville, WA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Two lights far apart. Unlike any light from any aircraft seen before. Near a Navy air base, but not like anything ever has been flown over or seen in the distance. They were round and just outside the clouds. Seen 30 miles away from each other at the same time; two family members saw the same lights and describe their disappearance.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #161721). 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.
