Rectangle over Lutsen, MN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
From a porch on a hill looked across Caribou Lake and saw multiple silver-white circles (like stars but larger) moving in widening circles and parallel to one another across the horizon. They moved slowly west then returned. Repeated the movement then as they went low on the western horizon suddenly a large golden glow appeared directly above the hill across our bay. It glowed gold, almost flame-like, then disappeared. Nothing for a few minutes then the golden glow returned, a bit to the west. When I stared at it, it appeared to be 3 vertical rectangles of golden light perfectly parallel to one another. After a 10 second glow, it disappeared. Reappeared once farther to the west. During this gold glow action, the silver/ white round lights that I first mentioned continued to move in circles on the horizon.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #122871). 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.
