Rectangle over ?????, WA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Witness was laying on sofa in front of big bay window with view of night sky. A huge square with unblinking lights at each of the four corners passed in front of the 3rd story window. The object was about 300 ft. off the ground. The distance between the corner lights was fairly large. The object was flying in a single line without wavering up, down, or backwards. Observer watched it until it was out of view. It was travelling in a southerly direction. The first reaction was that it was a UFO. Had no doubts when looking at it. Witness researched drones but didn't see any pics of drones that resembled the craft. Besides the object travelled in a very straight line. The object was flying over the inlet, and was just left of a shipyard. About 20 minutes after it flew by the wifi went dead and the computer could not be found. Then the computer showed up again and was secure and connected
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #139798). 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.
