A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My boyfriend and I were looking at the stars when he pointed out that a star or light had been moving but kind of fast. I then saw 3 move the opposite direction with one actually popping up out of nowhere and it was like the light went on, started moving then vanished again. Then what I had thought to be orions belt (pretty easy to see with the three lined up stars and it looked like the full constellation actually. We then saw the orions belt constellation moving fast to the right in the direction of ewa beach. By fast I mean it was noticable that it was moving from one side to another. It seemed to move fast yet slow enough to not be alarming. They all looked like the stars meaning small dots in the sky.

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.
