Formation over Easton, WA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
At 5:40 am on 2-8-2021 I exiting my residence facing east, I looked up into the Easterly sky thinking I was seeing a star lite sky after a recent snow event, actually realized within a few seconds the bright lights I was seeing were positioned below the upper cloud deck. The bright lights (between 10-12 est.) were all connected by a single strand of bright light as if they were pearls on a neckless. The lights were not positioned on the strand in equal distances, a few lights got brighter than others for just brief seconds in a random flashing sequence. All the lights then disappeared from front to rear into what seemed like heavy cloud cover as they moved East-North-East away from my viewing position.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #161963). 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.
