Diamond over Washington, CT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My husband and I were driving south from Washington, Ct toward Roxbury on Bell Hill rd. I noticed an orange light in the sky that seemed to be fairly low and moving at a slow speed. As we got closer (driving at approx. 30mph) I stuck my head out of the window to see it going overhead. As we went over it I noticed the object was square (or diamond) shaped with a white light at the front , a red light at each corner (two sides and rear). As we stopped at an intersection to take a look we didn’t not notice any sound though it appeared to be flying lower than usual aircraft (at about the same altitude that one might see a small prop plane). We continued driving down the road for about a mile when we pulled over to try to see the object again. We spotted the same flashing orange light that I noticed on our initial approach in the distance. We watched it for about 5 minutes and though it was far away, the object did not appear to move. I was trying to judge its ! movement based on its proximity to a large tree that was in the foreground. It stayed in the same place until we got back in the car and left.

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.

It was after an event during clean up that we noticed these vertical lights above the tent. They were only visible for a few moments before fading away. The second time was driving home late at night, I was in Roxbury when the lights appeared above. The lights moved in a strange sequence and the shape looked as if it curved near the end like it could be octagon shaped but all that was visible were the lights. I was not going to report anything until I saw them recently. Again late at night in the Washington/Roxbury area. It is always cloudy out when they appear.
