Rectangle over Hazel Green, AL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Walking my dog as usual at this time. I happened to look up and there it was. It was hovering, being still in one place. All of a sudden, it quickly took off, straight up and disappeared. The object was quite far up and how long it was there, I don't know. It was silver-white with two dark narrow lines on each side of the rectangle. I had watched it for about five seconds, before it went up. Very strange. I could not find anyone else who had seen this, but found your website. Thank you! The time was about 9 pm, June 24, central time. It made no sound or emitted any lights. I ruled out drones and planes. Direction was north-east of my house.

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.
