Cylinder over Conconully, WA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
On a camping trip, and after my wife went to bed I was standing at the campfire looking up at all of the stars. I saw a long patch of white behind the tree tops and thought it was a comet but it did not streak out from the trees. Then it slowly started moving into the open sky. It stood out as the brightest thing in the sky. Like neon light tubing. The tube inside the fuzzy light looked like a jet airline body. No wings or tail, and as long as a plane .There were black archtop spots across the lower half. Close together with white between them. the object was a dull white on the upper half , and around the dark spots. This is NO joke . I could clearly see it !!! It came over the campground area and moved off to the east . no noise,just coasting along.They were not hiding it at all. WITH MY OWN EYES. It is true. It moved off over the Okanogon Reservation glowing bright. IF anyone else saw it please speak out.Conconully to OMAK area WOW!

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.
