Light over Olympia, near the nisqually basin., WA

The report, as filed
It was an orange orb , in seconds it grew to be super bright and pouring out white hot light streams, almost looking like a diamond with bright bright orange and white, some small rays that were rainbow esque, a diamond. Hovered then kept going. Got smaller. Gone
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #176989). 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.
