Rectangle over Stokes, NC
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Walking my dog, when from south to north a rectangle shaped object crossed the night sky at about 20,000 feet. It had interior bright lights that shone through several windows. There was no sound. It came into view instantly, went over and out of view in 15 seconds. It looked like a trail way bus on its side with all the windows lit from bright interior lights. I felt that I was being observed from a sight-seeing bus from another dimension.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #144724). 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.
