Unknown over Roseburg, green district, OR
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Saw 3 object flying in formation with a long streamer dangling below each one. By the time I got my phone only one was visible. Thought it may be a balloon or helicopter until I saw it instantly do a pinpoint vectored 45degree turn changing it’s heading from north to northeast. They appeared to be somewhere east of I-5 and when I first spotted them they were directly east of Green so southeast of Roseburg Oregon. They were going slow enough that the hanging streamer was swaying forward and backward in relation to its travel instead of streaming behind. Wasn’t able to take video but got one good picture.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #174758). 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.
