Light over Fairfield, WA

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

Almost nightly, we see a ball of light, sometimes flashing white, green, and red, sometimes larger and closer to the ground, appearing like a bright white light. It's over farm ground, mostly wheat fields and blue grass. It moves accross the sky and seems to disappear/cut the lights at will. It does this when an airplane is crossing it's same area. I've watched that happen multiple times. It's below the clouds. It can move in any direction. I have seen up to three of these in the same sky area at once. It's usually just one though. I've taken poor quality cell phone video of it. I've also tried to take video when it's really moving around and had it disappear from sight before I can get my video rolling. We joke that it must just be the government or an Amazon drone. However, I think it's too big to be a drone. I watch it nightly from our residence. It's almost always off to the west. I've never seen it while the sun's been up.

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.

Fairfield, WA

My husband and I were driving from Tekoa, Washington, to Spokane, Washington, around noon last Saturday. We were nearing the southern side of Fairfield, Washington. My husband pointed to the north and about half jokingly said, "Look. A UFO." I looked and replied, "Oh, that's a plane." As we got closer to Fairfield, we continued to watch the object, and the more we watched, the more we became convinced that what we were looking at was something out of the ordinary. I would call myself a UFO enthusiast, though this was my first sighting. My husband is a confirmed skeptic, but even HE couldn't say what the object was. It was cigar shaped and white or silver. It moved at a pretty good rate of speed from the North to the West. We lost sight of it for maybe 30 seconds as we entered Fairfield. When we saw it again, it was sitting stationary in the western sky. I found this odd. I said to my husband, "If it hadn't been going so fast, I would say it's a blimp." It was also way too high up to be a blimp. When we got further into Fairfield, we lost sight of it again, and as we exited the Fairfield city limits, we could no longer see it. It was simply gone. Anyone who has been through Fairfield, knows it is very small and doesn't take long to get through going north on the highway. It might take a minute so it didn't make sense to me that the object was just gone. It was a clear day and should have still been visible. I didn't take pictures or video because my husband's windshield was quite dirty and I was afraid the object would be hard to see. Thanks for your time.
