Rectangle over Saginaw, MN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Saw very bright lights, almost like a plane flying very low. A very big object!. Looked like it was coming at me while I drove towards it and relized it was just hovering then it started to flip, while staying in the same spot. The lights dimmed. Once flipped, completely flipped over, I could see a lot of small lights on the object and it very slowly started moving away getting higher in the sky. Creepiest thing I've ever witnessed in my life.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #130432). 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.
