Rectangle over Butler, KS
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We saw an object in the sky with multiple white lights in a straight row. The object was very long at about 1/4 mile long. The object was about 10,000 feet up. The object flew slowly North East to South west direction. The object was very quiet with no engine noise. The sky was very clear and the object left no sort of trail.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #150854). 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.
