Rectangle over Halfmoon bay, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Sitting on a bench at the moss beach distillery at halfmoon bay california. Around 6:50 pm . My girlfriend noticed a large rectangular shape tha appeared out of nowhere moving very fast. I was amazed and took a photo. I didn’t think I captured it but after looking at the picture I did get it on film. Also looking at the picture I noticed there is another shape I caught below it in the right. And thst appears to be a round light and in the center the circle is divided with light like you cut 8 pieces of pie. I have both objects in two pictures

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.
