Rectangle over Benson, AZ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Large rectangular light bar like object swooped down from the hills in a flash, from the east as we were traveling westbound I-10 just east of Benson.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #130636). 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.

I put a trail cam out nightly to capture wildlife in my area. The following image shows an unexplained sighting from this night. It only appeared on one photo and there is nothing behind the house it is seen over. I am also submitting one for a few nights before with different Items in the photos. Don't know if it is UFO but I sure have no idea what it is.

Sitting in hot tub and witnessed a round object with proportionally spaced white lights go by between 500 to 1000 feet. No sound. Looked like a wheel hub.

3 red lights blinking but they were far apart. At first we were not sure if they were moving. But then the lights rhythm changed and it starting moving towards the Rincon Mountains, where it looked like it landed.
