Light over Tahuya, WA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
A bright large “star” appeared above the trees as we walk our dogs this evening. It was big, bright and relatively close, north of Tahuya by the Hood canal. We stop to look and it began zig zagging. Then went up and down very fast. Became stationary, the white silver color turned gold, becoming smaller and then shot into space in amazing speed. Disappeared. Beautiful!!!
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #167153). 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.
