Rectangle over Fincastle, VA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
There was a bad thunderstorm, and we drove into town to take pictures of the clouds. Did not see anything but the clouds. Drove back home and downloaded all photos from cellphone on laptop. Laptop broke and did not fix until winter of 2016. Went through to delete old photos and found the image. As you can see, it is greenish, rectangle shape with some white lines that could indicate fast movement and there is a shadow going to the ground. I put the copyright on the photo, but please do not publicize my name. I would just like to know what it was.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #139357). 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.
