Cigar over nearest city glide/peel/Roseburg, OR
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We were in the tent and our dad was outside we did not have a fire that night, he suddenly yelled for us to get out of the tent and look at something when we finally got out with the dog there was a low flying craft just above the tree line on the other side of the lake, very large craft we thought it was a comet until it kept going. We took out our phones and tried to get a picture and it vanished infront of our eyes. The object was very large it was emitting green and red lights leaving a faint trail. SIDE NOTES: our dad stayed up longer and saw more things.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #173407). 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.
