Rectangle over Colombus, OH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was driving just past Columbus, Ohio. Looked up and saw bright green trail like a meteor but 200 times brighter. It was a clear moonlit night. After the trail went out there still looked like something did not burn up and was a blurry rectangle and then it was out of my angle of view from windshield.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #159679). 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.
