Rectangle over Albany (near), OR
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Wife noticed bright light above I-5 near Albany. Light appeared to be brighter and more white than the softer yellow glow of a streetlight. Light was also much higher in the air than any possible structure could reach and basically hovered directly over highway. Harshness of light dissipated as we drove under it, revealing a lit rectangular shaped bottom. Similar hovering light appeared again a few minutes later further down the highway. I've driven this same stretch of I-5 many times before, and have never seen, or noticed, anything like this.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #132822). 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.
