Rectangle over Auburndale/Winter Haven, FL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
One rectangular object appeared to be floating, but moved rather fast into the clouds. It was blueish and appeared somewhat like a huge rectangular sheet, flat and billowy. It appeared to be intentionally driving itself in between the large thunderheads high in the sky.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #164268). 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.
