As reported

Rectangle over South Reading, VT

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

The report, as filed

The craft was seen in clear blue skies, traveling out of the north west towards the south east at approximately 7000 ft. As it approached my position it looked to be a flashing diamond, and then a square, as the craft passed overhead it was clearly a rectangular shape. It looked like a flying refrigerator! The color changed from a glowing white, metallic, to a flat black. The black seemed to be almost void of color. The black color flowed across the surface at 45 deg angles to the right angles of the outside edges, so that there were moving triangles of black and glowing white... at times the entire side would be either black or metallic glow white. The craft traveled in a straight line, however slowed down, seemed to stop, and then speed up. Therefore, the speed did not seem to be constant. A commerical jetliner was witnessed at the same time traveling from the northeast to the southwest, perhaps at 20k leaving a contrail, and the sound of the jet could be heard. The jet traveled perpendicular to the unknown craft. The unknown craft made no sound at all and left no contrail. The craft dissapeared beyond my field of view at a high rate of speed after having have slowed down.

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.
