Rectangle over McCormick, SC
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Last evening, September 19th, three of us were standing in the street, Cyprus Drive in McCormick SC walking our dogs. I looked up and saw a train like procession of rectangles crossing the sky. They looked like dominos, each with two or three horizontal lights, traveling in a straight line. There was no engine sound and they were moving at a rather fast pace although it is difficult to judge the speed. None of us had ever seen anything like this.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #171901). 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.

We were at Strom Thurmond Dam near Clarks Hill, when a black triangular object appeared in the sky. When it was first spotted, it looked as though it was ascending from the ground. It leveled out just above the tree line, approximately 100 ft in the air. It was completely silent and moved too slow to be an aircraft. After about 15 seconds it was out of view. I think this craft came out of the water near the dam. Not sure. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

In the process of setting the telescope up, we again saw the same light traveling towards the north, abruptly changing direction again and faded out of sight in seconds On this occurrence our 20 year old son was outside with us and witnessed the incident along with us. Time from first sighting to disappearance approximately 30 – 45 seconds.

June 7, 2015, at approximately 2:30 a.m.. My spouse and I were standing on our front porch of our home smoking a cigarette when we saw what we thought to begin with was an extremely bright star (almost looked like someone holding a flashlight from the sky pointed back down towards earth). Then we both noticed it was moving. It was solid white light with no other color. Nothing was blinking. It seemed as though it changed its course very suddenly and then faded out of sight quickly. Time from first sighting to disappearance approximately 30–45 seconds.
