Oval over Vida, OR
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Between 11:30 am and 12:30 pm 12/29/21 I viewed an ovalish shaped object moving at a high rate of speed, moving east to the west several hundred feet below the ridge top on the hills directly across from my location. The sun was out and I caught site of its reflection when it was a little to the right of being directly across from me, it was around half the size of a car and at the speed it was traveling it only took 10-15 seconds to disappear to the west. Seemed to be pretty close to the north hills as it moved in a straight line of travel east to west. I’ve been thinking about this all day, trying to make sense of what I saw, it was clearly some kind of self propelled craft? It happened so fast I had no time to get a camera.

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.
