Rectangle over Alma, CO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Girlfriend and I were sitting on the deck, i was watching hawks in the sky to just above but to the south. In the background i saw an object appear from above the trees to the west, flying between 300-400 feet, about 300 yards to the south. I pointed it out to my girlfriend, who confirmed what i saw. It was mostly grey, with some black on top. It was about the size and sort of the shape of a subaru outback, without the whole front, hood and everything, maybe a bit wider. It was completely silent, had no wings, no props. It held an extremely steady flight, no wavering, very consistent.. it flew to the east, maintaining speed and altitude, eventually we couldn't see it anymore.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #175603). 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.

On Highway 9, right before you get into Alma going South. Bright light, fast, greenish. Only lasted a few seconds before it went either behind treeline or disappeared.

Walking to the local store at 7am, I noticed 3 bright lights hanging in the sky. They looked like stars in a perfect triangle and didn't move for four hours. This was nothing man made, it was bigger than a football field and after the first hour military aircraft started flying all under and around it. It looked to be over NORAD then it dissapeared one light at a time. The military jets are still searching the sky at 6pm.
