As reported

Rectangle over St. Joe, MN

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

I glanced 3 to 4 times at it and notice that not only had it moved several time, it had completely disappeared. I continued west on co rd 75 towards the I-94 merge and just past the second Kwik trip (the last one before you leave town). To my left (south of the road), I saw a GIANT, HUGE, MASSIVE (these words don't do the size of this craft justice) aircraft. The craft seemed to be more square than rectangle and had 4 very distinct bright orange lights under the craft. It hovered approximately 200 yards above the tree line and very clearly lit up the tree line and field. It was completely silent and was not moving. I was legitimately frightened and continued at a high rate of speed to work. This was between Saint Joe MN and the on ramp to I-94 just before exit 156. The best way I can describe the size of this thing is (it was like a sky scraper put into a square with orange lights on the bottom and just hovering silently.

Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #146865). 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.
