Changing over Rosalia, St. John, Colfax area of the Palouse, WA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
As I was leaving St. John, Washington on the Pine City-Malden road I crested a hill and spotted a bright white light and continued to glance at it as I could on the way to Rosalia. I stopped at one point when I had a good spot to observe the object and took a couple of pictures with my phone and a little Sony camera. The object seemed to remain stationary and would change shape from round to worm shape to triangular with a red light at the long end. I was working driving a box truck. This is rolling hills wheat country so the road follows the shallow valleys and crests hills. I was soon heading away from the object in a northerly direction and it was behind me. This is the second time I've seen such a light. No fog, high clouds.

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.
