Rectangle over Seven Devils, NC
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
At approximately 10:30pm on the previous Friday night, looking north towards Hawks Nest ski resort, over a large valley at approximately 3600ft elevation near Boone, NC, I witnessed a large black rectangle with around one dozen lights underneath. It appeared to be 1/4 mile away, and 500ft above the valley floor. It appeared to be the suze if a a football field, but extremely thin; think of a gigantic iPhone. After a few seconds, it vanished at an amazing rate of speed to the east and out of view.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #143949). 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.
