Rectangle over Fort Bragg, NC
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
3 lights horizontally in a row moving horizontally in slow motion towards base. Too slow for a plae or helicopter to stay in the air. Then bright burst of white light, a 90 degree turn, then fast move up and into the clouds. As a typical black hawk was coming/ flying over to land at the base. It was as if who or what did not want the pilots to them! The object dod not make any sounds at all.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #161033). 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.
