Circle over OREGON CITY, OR
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Seen in our yard over trees by neighbors further away, came a bright orange fiery light and was round, facing towards us, stopped in mid air for little while, then came towards our direction, under it I saw a triangle shape with lights, then it flew up over the trees and still could see in the distance it was just stopping again in mid air, then it took off. It never had any sound at all, no motor or anything. And when it flew it was very quiet. When it climbed up in the air behind the trees when I saw it, it came up very fast. But, as it flew it went slower.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #168219). 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.
