Rectangle over Morganton, NC at Brown Mountain Overlook, NC
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
This object had no sound and if I had to guess, I would place it at 10,000 feet. It looked more of a see through rectangular object with windows rather than a solid mass and it was green in color (the color of a star pointer green). It came in from the Nortwest and was flying due east. It seemed to glide with ease and no engine.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #178064). 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.
