Rectangle over Easley, SC
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
The lights quickly changed to white and then back to orange/red as more lights lit up around it in a square formation. It hovered in the sky for more than 12 minutes and then disappeared. I have photos which reveal a shadow of the shape around the craft.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #158474). 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.

The environment where my sighting took place was in a suburban type of neighborhood. I took my puppy to the front yard on his leash to go to potty around 10:15. After about 5 minutes passed, which I can only guess because I did not have my phone at the time, of us walking in the front yard I noticed two bright white lights in the sky about 300ft in front of the house with what looked like a spotlight on top of the object pointed into the clouds. The object was directly over the neighborhood approximately 50ft above the ground, it was so close to the roof of my two story house, after a few seconds and I could see more clearly that it actually had 3 lights on the bottom and had a very obvious saucer silhouette. The object continued to pass over my house and the neighborhood in a matter of a minute. It was only in my eyesight for 3 minutes before the trees in the distance obscured my view. I think it’s also worth adding the object made a very low hum that felt like a vibration or possibly an engine hum. Another thing to note is that my puppy is a dog that barks viciously at aircrafts flying over him like helicopters or military aircrafts, in my area it is not uncommon to see military flights, even with the unidentified aircraft so close to him he was incredibly calm and didn’t move a muscle. The very last detail is that there were 3 people inside the house awake at the time of my encounter and not one person inside heard the noise.

I only started counting after I was gathering what I was watching realizing what I seen was really happening I definitely counted 39 but there had to be 50 1by 1 by 1 appearing and moving in this perfectly straight formation mathematically perfect spacing between each light could fool you for a star if it weren't moving .... and they all moved so fast for such altitudes SO MANY OF THEM BUT after the last of them dissappear five minutes later only one singular light appears from the direction these 50 some headed into it head to where those 50 came out of into this fog but never came back into sight this one was alone and could move in such manners the defy our laws in physics itself. And this one got bigger shaped like brighter flashes it flashed 4 times before dissappeared for good

Noticed a ball of light moving slow in the sky over Venus. It went half way across the sky and just disappeared. And then another light followed the same path and disappeared at the same spot the first one did. We seen five lights do that. And then one came from the other side of the sky and disappeared at the same spot the other ones did

The objects are sphere like and are orange or red in color. They fly low and slow, sometimes seeming to just stop and hover, before fading out to nothing. You cannot hear any noise at all, like with a plane or helicopter flying over. While staring at them closely they appear to have bursts of the same color light around them. They are solid red or orange and do not blink at all. I saw 8 tonight, first two, then 2 more, then 3, then one. No more than 3 were in sight at one time. I have seen them before about 6 months ago. At that time it was only 3 and they all hovered in one spot for over 10 minutes in a triangle pattern, then just faded out to nothing. I have never really believed in UFO'S, but I really like to know what these are!

Again tonight only was more six o'clock position and looked to be much closer to the earth. Made pictures of the object as best as the phone will take.

As my family and I were returning home from dinner, I observed an object in the sky with lights around the edge of the object, giving it a disk like appearance. I was heading SW on Three Bridges Rd, in a rural area between the cities of Greenville and Anderson, South Carolina. I first saw the object through a clearing of trees that line the road, directly in front of me. It appeared to be at least a couple of miles away, maybe 500-1000 ft in the air. There was an airplane that passed by in the vicinity, but this object was stationary, almost like it may have been hovering. I tracked it with my eyes as much as I safely could while driving to see if it moved at all. Having grown up bird and duck hunting, I used trees and other objects in the sky to try and triangulate the location as best as possible. The object wasn’t moving. I then approached an area that is heavily wooded and blocked the line of sight I had on the object. When I came out of the area, I saw the object in the same location, then all of a sudden, it quickly ascended in the sky to the point it disappeared. During the duration of the time I saw the object, I had feeling or sense like I was being watched by something or someone.
