Cigar over Bellevue, WA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
As soon as it gets dark I start seeing these strange aircraft coming and going from the same point in the clouds. At the risk of sounding crazy, it sure as heck seems like there’s some kind of aircraft carrier-type platform under cloud cover. It shifts position regularly between hovering over Seattle and Bellevue. There are some sort of manned aircraft ferrying people from the ground to the sky. I moved into my 18th floor apartment last September and have observed a militia group operating out of the building under construction across the street as well as other downtown buildings. I assume they are militia because they wear black military uniforms with a white patch and they often carry rifles. They seem to be well funded and have been experimenting with cloaking technology. I can’t imagine how they are pulling off the small aircraft or why more people aren’t reporting this, but I’ve been observing this activity for months and am becoming increasingly alarmed. This militia group seems to be guided by a team of older officers in their 50’s and 60’s. I believe they have connections nationwide as I’ve seen people on rooftops observing tests where payloads are dropped into Lake Washington by real airplanes and a thick yellowish fog overtook downtown Bellevue in minutes. I’m deeply concerned that a militia group with this level of funding and technology has an agenda that includes acts of national terrorism. It has occurred to me that they could be training for the next presidential election. Cloaking technology and the ability to instantly create an impenetrable fog in under 5 minutes would have safeguarded the identity of people participating in the Capital Hill insurgence. And imagine if you could move militia troops silently in and out of target zones using these types of silent aircraft. I wish someone would at least investigate and verify my claims. I don’t imagine the FBI or other. Law enforcement agencies will take my claims seriously. I’m posting what I see on a nightly basis, but I’m smart enough to know my claims sound wacko and won’t be taken seriously. Maybe there’s a reasonable explanation for this, but if what I’m seeing is the real deal I fear for the safety of the nation. I would think it might be worth someone taking an hour or two to investigate. There hasn’t been a single night I haven’t observed these silent aircraft ferrying people to and from the clouds. Sometimes one-person craft, other times groups of people.

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.

Lights that hover, move and hover over downtown Bellevue. One of many lights that appear, hover and eventually depart.

The images are of a cylindrical aircraft flying across the nighttime Bellevue sky. The first image is blown up, the second is from a distance. I didn’t see wings or flashing lights, so I’m fairly certain it’s not an airplane.

Two images of the craft, one from a distance and one blown up. To me, appears to be a tiny manned craft, but that’s just a guess.

I was in the passenger seat with the window down, and I was taking a photo of the moon. I saw a bright light flash by as I took the photo. As seen in the photo, there is no lamp post where the light shines onto the bridge. 2 photos- one without the light (different location on the bridge) and one of the light I saw pass by as I took photo.

I see these every night without fail. They might pass for aircraft, but they fly low to the ground and are silent. They appear to carry people, but there doesn’t appear to be a cabin. I am concerned because I have seen men in military uniforms piloting them (militia?). It’s my hope the U.S. government will at least investigate. Given the military uniforms I fear they might have a political agenda and may be planning acts of domestic terrorism. My photos aren’t great, but I am willing to hand over the images I have to the authorities. If there’s a plausible explanation for what I’m seeing I don’t know what it is.
