Triangle over Hurley, WI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My 2 kids and I were driving north on 5th ave at 6:30 in the evening in November. As I was approaching the intersection where 5th ave intersects Business Hwy 51, I noticed this huge rectangular shape come into my line of vision from East to West and suddenly stop and change direction. I muttered out loud,” what the heck is that?” The 5 lights were extremely bright. I turned onto the highway trying to get my phone out of my pocket as my daughter was shouting details about the underside of the craft. Excitement turned into panicked cries to take them home. Before I could gather my bearings, the object was heading Southeast and the rear lights were glowing orange. We never noticed a sound. It wasn’t very far off the ground and I would estimate the size to be between 75 to 100 feet across at its widest point.

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.
