Other over Clarendon, VT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Rt 7 South from Rutland to Wallingford. I noticed a strobing dim, though expansive white light in the sky toward the airport. I thought nothing of it, assuming it was some form of aviation guidance. Then a figure appeared in the sky in front of me near Wallingford. It was like a hologram or silhouette. Its form reminded me of a football goal, but narrow. It had sections like a Tetris tile . The object was not moving and was only visible for what seemed like seconds. However, my average 15 minute drive home had become a 30 minute drive.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #161416). 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.
