Rectangle over Dorset, VT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Took my dog out and noticed a straight line of white lights in the sky moving toward the southeast. I would estimate at least a dozen lights or more. The light appeared slightly wavy. I would describe it as if it were a plane pulling a banner of white lights, but I could see no plane, heard no sound, and the lights stayed in formation. It gradually faded into the southeast over the course of just a few minutes. It did not appear to be traveling fast and was not very high in the sky. I was a clear night, but I could not make out the outline of any craft.

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.
