Light over Pleasant Hill, OR
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I watched the white light for over half an hour. It first travelled in a square pattern above my home, then changed to a rectangular pattern going more east bound. At first I thought it was a plane but at each corner of both patterns it did 90 degree corners. This was done at high speeds. It was very high as evidenced by a plane passing in between my home and the white light. I called the local news tv media but was discounted by whomever I talked with. I tried taking a picture with cell phone but it didn’t show up.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #163954). 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.
