Rectangle over Pinetop, AZ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Definitely not a Starlink satellite. This object was similar to a light bar the size of a football field and width was slender. Similar to a huge jeep/truck light bar or measuring ruler with bright lights that looked like perfect squares put together. Lights were not separated like Starlink. While camping at Pinetop, Arizona near Show Low at the Blue Ridge Trailhead at approximately 9:30 p.m. on 06/12/23, this craft moved from west to east at approximately 3000 feet above the ground and faded away after 2 minutes of viewing it. No sound at all.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #176285). 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.

The bright light followed my car for about 10 minutes. After that it was on the side of my car and then disappeared abruptly.. After about 10 minutes it reappeared again in front of my car and stayed in the same position. It was very bright and circular. I got out of my car and took a picture and when I got home and zoomed in you could see that it was man made and there were little circles all around the outside edges edges. I screenshot the zoomed in photo and attached that too . This happened on Highway 260 between Springerville and Pinetop in a dark secluded area near Sunrise Ski Resort.

The objects were traveling along the same flight path in a steady stream for an hour, it was very dark outside, no moonlight, only bright stars. They were traveling at a higher speed than a commercial jet, with no sound at all. They looked to be about the same altitude as commercial flights we have seen along that same flight path, they were all bright white in color, similar to the stars around them. The event was amazing to observe "Starlink" satellites? PD
