Rectangle over Glen Mills, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Object first appeared as a light shaped like a rectangle. It began shape shifting, changing color, and folding into itself as I was taking a picture of it before it disappeared into thin air.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #174363). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

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.

My boyfriend was driving down an unlit road when we suddenly noticed four points of light that were seemingly hovering/suspended in the sky. The lights were very bright, steady (not blinking), and had a warm yellow/orange glow. Three of the lights were arranged in a triangle formation, and the fourth one was was more or less parallel to the light that made up the bottom left point of the triangle. The lights may have moved slightly up or down, but for the most part they appeared to be hovering in air. We watched them for about 20 seconds before we continued driving. A few notes: we have traveled down this road hundreds of times and are very familiar with the area, so we know the lights were not coming from a tower or other manmade structure. We were traveling east on the road, and saw the lights while we were looking south/south east. We were in a suburban/semi-rural area that is subdivided into 1-5 acre parcels, and we were not close to any major cities. The formation and appearance of the lights were so peculiar that it caused my boyfriend to immediately stop the car in the middle of the road. At first we thought it was a low flying plane, but quickly realized that the lights were not moving. We then thought it was some type of celestial event, but it appeared to be far too close to the earth to be a star formation. Again, it seemed so close to the earth that we first thought it was a low flying plane.

My husband called me outside. I saw 6 very bright orange lights moving slowly and quietly across the sky. My husband said there were more before I came outside. They didn't look to be in any formation and I could not tell what shape they were. They each just looked like a big very bright orange light. They passed slowly but one by one they disappeared. I went inside and a few minutes later I went back out. There were now 4 in the sky, even lower than the ones before. Again, slowly moving across the sky until they disappeared.
