Rectangle over Boston (northeast of), MA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Driving to work at 6 AM, heading North on route 24 towards Brockton, MA, saw orange/pink wide streak in sky. It looked like it was northeast and possibly over or near Atlantic Ocean. It was slowly working its way downward. I watched it until I could no longer see it behind the trees. I don't think it was a craft. It looked fiery, but perfectly formed in a wide line that was rectangular. It had beautiful colors.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #121847). 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.
