Rectangle over Northwest Medford, OR
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
While walking dog in my neighborhood, I saw a bright rectangular shape in the sky. It had rectangular lights that began from left to right, 1 white, 2 reds, 1 white. I thought at first that it was a plane, but rather than moving forward, it first hovered without any movement- just stayed in the same spot in the sky. It then moved left - sideways. It hovered again briefly, moved downward, then flashed all lights three times together, then disappeared!
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #128207). 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.
