Circle over Nespelem, WA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
It was around 6am this morning and me and another individual was on our way to work; we were car pooling together. He was driving and I was looking out my window when I noticed there was a line of about 10 “stars” that were in a horizontal straight line. I’ve never seen that kind of pattern in the sky before and quickly pointed to them to the driver. He began looking and noticed they were moving. We pulled off of the main road and got out and watched the “stars”. They were moving in a line but what was really cool was the fact that the “star” in the front of the line would quickly disappear and then another would appear at the end of the line. The way they were moving was like a large ship with lights on the side and the ship was rotating. This went on for about 3-4 minutes and then one by one, each moving light disappeared. We tried to record this on our phone but could not see the lights on the phones screen.

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.
