Rectangle over Carrollton, OH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Saw bright ornage rectangular shape rising in the distance and fading out and disappearing, then reappeared lower on the horizon than was initially seen. It floated into the air and appeared to be weaving left to right as it was rising, and then disappeared again for the last time.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #135567). 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 went outside on my patio in the basement to smoke a cigarette. I noticed a bright light in the sky way on the left of me. At that time, I assumed it was a plane or a star. As I was smoking my cigarette about minutes later, I noticed the light object was moving fast side to side and up and down. It was moving at a speed no plane or helicopter could handle. I then ran upstairs got my camera and my mother to come look the object. It was no plane or a star. It was definitely an unidentified flying object emitting bright light and moving at unnatural speeds. I captured about 5 minutes of film where the object was hovering at. The first 5 seconds is the best film of the video.
