Light over Darrington, WA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
It started way out in the atmosphere, brighter than anything else I've ever seen. At first I thought it was a planet, but it was too large and bright. Then it started getting closer. It looked like red and blue striations were coming from the core. The core was a round center of white light, but seemed to rotate 360 like a spotlight looking around. Eventually it came so close that it didn't seem far from the tree line, and it also seemed to zoom/focus in to where we were standing or where it was 'looking'. It would disappear and reappear and was moving all around the sky. This lasted for at least an hour. This is going to sound the craziest, but at one point it shot 2 midnight blue triangles into the sky. There were 6 of us all witnessing the same thing. Truly astonishing. We caught a glimpse on video, bit it only captured the smallest ball of light, and didn't really capture what we were actually seeing.

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.

Darrington, WA
Looking east towards Gold mtn east, south east a bright perfectly circle shaped project appeared in the sky. Far far brighter than an other passing planes and would pulsate very bright to black. We saw this two times before audibly confirming with one another what we saw, it faded out a third time while appearing to veer off in another direction disappearing in a flash of light. We had been watching the meteor shower and whatever object we saw moved in an unnatural way, nothing like meteors we have seen previously.
