Rectangle over Osceola, IN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
All of a sudden a huge rectangle shaped aircraft shot a beam of light at it. About that time a large jet flew past low going into Elkhart airport. The triangle shaped craft dropped down lower so that the jet went past above it and the rectangle shaped craft moved to where it was above my house just at the top of the trees. That's when I noticed that there was more than just one orb in my area. There was at least 3 more in different areas within a mile of my house zipping around low in the sky like they were taking pictures or filming of things. I stayed outside watching them for about 30 minutes before going inside to go to bed. They were still out in the area when I went inside to go to bed at 1:15 am. The rectan! gle shaped aircraft was something that I had never seen before around here. I see the colorful orbs every clear night zipping around this area like they are looking for something or just looking around. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and she assured us that the report is submitted as a serious account of what she had seen. PD

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.

Sitting in hot tub thinking I saw a twinkling star. Took a pic and enlarged it. It was not a star. It comes back and at times more than one. I have multiple videos and pics. Could it be a satellite? It sits in the same spot without moving. Some pics won’t upload to your site. [NUFORC annotation: Planet/Star - Possible]

I do not know if it was a satellite or what it was. I took several videos and stills from the video. Looked light a bright twinkling start. It is round with big white lights all around. Way up with the stars. You can see heat coming off it in the stills. I have seen it three times now. Just thinking its a satellite but never have seen anything like this. Thank you
