Chevron over Between Tacoma and Gig Harbor, WA, WA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We were driving over the Narrows Bridge from Tacoma to Gig Harbor. I looked to the North and noticed high above the power lines that go across the straight there were these three really bright lights. They were moving slowly or hovering and faintly looked like they were connected in a large v shape. There is an airport in Gig Harbor and I know that sometimes airplanes line up in their flight pattern can look like that from far away, but these lights were obviously the same height and distance. Also, airplanes are never flying in the proximity of the electrical wires. They were not moving fast like an airplane and were far enough apart that they were not wing lights on one plane. Whatever it was, was pretty big. Super weird! We only had a minute or so to observe the lights before our view was cut off. The only logical explanation that I can think of is that they were military helicopters hovering in a formation with spotlights on.

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.
