Rectangle over Marietta, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Tonight, my father told me of an object in the sky, Very high up where anyone in PA or US in general could see most likely. Looks like a star, but much brighter, and flickering lights. Looked like it was at the altitude of a commercial jet. A friend of my father has a telescope, and Said its absoluely a rectangle. Multple checks on flight radar and sky app say that nothing is supposed to be there. My father lives about 2 hours from me, and he could see it clearly, as could i almost.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #137258). 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.

On this night of October 18, 2017, My girlfriend and i just got back to my house from dinner. We were talking in my car in my driveway for a bit, and out of the corner of my eye, i saw lights. (What i saw) Was a triangular craft with about 4 lights on each side, some were yellow, some were white, and one was red, in the middle. It flew from behind a tree in my backyard, then i saw it for about 4-5 seconds, then it went into the trees and dissapeared. I opened my door as soon as it left to see if there was a noise, and there wasnt. It was about 150ft in the air, which is very low for an airplane, and i know what i saw. It wasnt an airplane. Nothing we have. Personally, i am a UFO enthusiast and i know plently about eveything, so i could accept it and easily identify it as A triangular craft. Now what my girlfriend saw, was what she describes as just about 10 yellow lights moving in unison without breaking formation, like fireflies. Im aware that there is a post here describing the same exact thing, In around the same area.
