Disk over Powell Butte, OR
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Me and 5 other people saw a disk that looked like a light craft. It was white blue and green. It was in the sky by itself. It sat there for maybe 3 seconds then it got bigger as it moved closer to the house. Then it took off and never came back. We live out in the middle of nowhere where the night sky has no city lights. When we all saw it we couldn’t believe what we were seeing. It looked like a light disk and it got bigger and smaller very quick and then was gone but as it took off you saw it get smaller until it disappeared. It happened very quick.

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.
