THEMERectangular Craft Over a Stevenson Storefront — Captured on Video at Dusk on the Night of the 2025 Harvest Moon Supermoon, with TWO Named In-Person Witnesses (Tom Sikora and Josh Aldrich)

› SUMMARY: New dusk capture from the Columbia Ace Hardware parking lot in Stevenson, Washington (Skamania County, Columbia River Gorge — the same corridor as the Crystal Portal Door, Willard Road Blue UAP, and Home Valley reverse-pulse). Exact sighting timestamp logged by the Perceiver: TUESDAY, OCTOBER 7TH, 2025 — 7:10 PM PT. A 6-second handheld video and three wide-angle stills document a dark, elongated, rectangular object holding position in the twilight sky over the storefront beside the 2025 Harvest Moon supermoon. TWO named witnesses — Tom Sikora and Josh Aldrich — were present on the ground with the Perceiver at the moment of capture and stand as live corroborating eyes on the sighting. Moon phase, position, and apparent diameter in the frame are independently checkable against any astronomy ephemeris for that exact timestamp.

LOCATION CLARIFICATION (verbatim Perceiver intent): the sighting is at the Columbia Ace Hardware in Stevenson, Washington — Skamania County, on the north bank of the Columbia River Gorge. It is NOT Hood River, Oregon. Stevenson sits in the same operational corridor previously documented in this archive as carrying the Crystal Portal Door (45°41′56″N 121°54′17″W), the Willard Road Blue UAP, and (across the river) Mitchell Point.

🗓️ EXACT TIMESTAMP ON THE RECORD: Tuesday, October 7th, 2025 — 7:10 PM Pacific Time. Logged precisely by the Perceiver at the moment of capture. The Stevenson coordinate (SR-14, Skamania County) is openly published so any independent investigator can ground-truth.

🌕 AGENT CASSIDY'S CORROBORATIVE NOTE — HARVEST MOON SUPERMOON: the luminous moon visible in the frame opposite the rectangular craft is not generic — it is the 2025 Harvest Moon supermoon (full phase reached at 8:48 PM EDT on October 6, 2025; by 7:10 PM Pacific on October 7 it was still essentially full and at near-perigee, the brightest and largest full moon of 2025). The moon's position, brightness, and apparent diameter in the capture are independently checkable against any astronomy ephemeris (NASA, U.S. Naval Observatory, Stellarium, SkySafari) for that exact timestamp at the Stevenson coordinate. If the moon's position and phase match the ephemeris for 7:10 PM PT on 07 OCT 2025, the capture timestamp is authenticated. That is geometric, not subjective.

NAMED WITNESSES (on the record): the Perceiver was not alone. Tom Sikora and Josh Aldrich were physically present in the Ace Hardware parking lot the same night as the video capture and observed the same rectangular object in the sky. This is the first Stevenson UAP entry in this archive to carry two named, in-person, willing-to-be-contacted witnesses standing on the same ground as the Perceiver at the moment of capture.

⭐ THE STAR MISDIRECTION — PERCEIVER'S OWN STATEMENT (verbatim): "This is not a moon. The moon is on the far left. This is supposed to be a star. They want us to think it's a star." Two zoom frames (frames #4 and #5 in the image set below) test that classification head-on under maximum optical zoom on the same smartphone, same night, same coordinate. A star is a point source — no top edge, no body, no protrusion, no asymmetric geometry. The Stevenson object resolves into a flat-topped, bright-bodied, asymmetric cuboidal silhouette with a distinct dark protrusion at the upper right. The geometry is consistent across both zoom frames. If conventional sky-charting (Stellarium / SkySafari) for Stevenson, WA at 7:10 PM PT on 07 OCT 2025 places no first-magnitude star at the documented azimuth/elevation, the "star" classification fails on the ephemeris alone.

📸 WHAT THE CAMERA CAPTURED: A dark, elongated, horizontally-rectangular form is visible against the deep-blue twilight sky above the Columbia Ace Hardware storefront. The moon is in the same frame on the opposite side. Three wide-angle stills and a 6-second handheld video show the same object holding silhouette and position across the duration of the capture, with no FAA-standard navigation-light blink pattern and no fixed-wing motion profile. Two additional zoom stills, taken on the same handheld at the same coordinate, resolve the object into a clearly-structured cuboidal silhouette with a flat top edge, a bright body, and an asymmetric dark protrusion at the upper right — directly contradicting any "star" classification.

👁️ WHAT THE PERCEIVER OBSERVED: a rectangular craft — flat, plated, structurally hard-edged — read by the Perceiver as a UAP of structured rectangular geometry, more consistent with the cuboidal-class craft documented in the modern military UAP corpus than with any conventional aircraft profile. The geometry holds across all three stills and the video.

🔗 NETWORK HYPOTHESIS — PACIFIC PULSE CORRIDOR: Stevenson is the same operational corridor as Underwood Mountain (across-river / upriver, WA), the Stevenson Crystal Portal Door, Home Valley reverse-pulse, Willard Road, Mitchell Point (across the river in Oregon), and Mount Adams. This archive has documented multiple static crystalline / portal signatures at this coordinate set. The Stevenson Ace Hardware rectangular craft is the first moving-object UAP signature now logged directly over the same corridor that already carries the static signatures — an upgrade from "node activity" to "node + craft co-occurrence."

⚠️ INTELLECTUAL HONESTY — BASELINE HYPOTHESES ACKNOWLEDGED UP FRONT: conventional readings would attribute the rectangular silhouette to (a) a distant fixed-wing aircraft seen edge-on, (b) a high-altitude weather balloon drifting through the Gorge wind corridor, (c) a power-line transformer or utility component on the parking-lot perimeter projected against the sky in a wide-angle frame, (d) a window reflection or lens-flare interaction between the moon and the camera optics in low light, or (e) digital compression / sensor artifact at the dynamic-range boundary between the bright moon and the dark sky. Those are all valid baselines. The Perceiver lists this on the briefing channel anyway because two named in-person witnesses (Tom Sikora and Josh Aldrich) corroborate the sighting and the coordinate sits inside a corridor this archive has already flagged as active.

📣 OPEN INVITATION: AARO, the Congressional UAP Caucus, Skamania County Sheriff's Office, Washington State Patrol, the FAA Northwest Mountain Regional Office, and credentialed independent investigators are invited to contact the Perceiver directly. Tom Sikora and Josh Aldrich are available as named, in-person witnesses to the same sighting. Full dossier and a ground-truth visit to the Stevenson Ace Hardware coordinate can be coordinated through the credentialed-investigator intake on this site.

Wide dusk capture of the Columbia Ace Hardware storefront in Stevenson Washington at twilight with a dark rectangular object visible in the upper right of the sky over the parking lot and a luminous moon on the opposite side of the frame with silhouetted Cascade ridges in the background — FRAME 1 — Wide dusk capture of the Columbia Ace Hardware storefront in Stevenson, Washington. Rectangular dark object visible in the upper right of the sky over the parking lot; Harvest supermoon on the opposite side of the frame.

Second wide dusk capture of the Columbia Ace Hardware Stevenson Washington showing the rectangular dark object holding position over the storefront at twilight with traffic cones along the roadway in the foreground and the Cascade ridge line silhouetted behind — FRAME 2 — Same coordinate, twilight deepening. The rectangular object holds position over the storefront with traffic cones along the roadway in the foreground.

Third wide dusk capture from the Columbia Ace Hardware parking lot in Stevenson Washington showing the rectangular dark object still visible against the deep blue twilight sky with the storefront fully lit below — FRAME 3 — Third wide capture from the same Ace Hardware parking-lot vantage. Same object, same sky, different frame — geometry holds.

Zoomed handheld smartphone capture against the deep blue Stevenson Washington twilight sky resolving the rectangular craft body with a flat hard top edge a bright lower body and a small dark protrusion at the upper right corner directly contradicting the conventional reading that this is a star and showing structured cuboidal craft geometry instead — FRAME 4 — ZOOM #1 — "They want us to think it's a star." Maximum optical zoom on the same handheld. Flat top edge, bright structured body, and a dark protrusion at the upper-right corner. Stars do not have geometry.

Second zoomed handheld smartphone capture of the same Stevenson Washington rectangular craft against the deep blue twilight sky now showing the cuboidal geometry from a slightly different angle with the flat top edge holding the bright body still defined and the dark protrusion at the upper right consistent across both zoom frames demonstrating structural persistence and ruling out a stellar point-source — FRAME 5 — ZOOM #2 — Same object, slightly different angle, same cuboidal geometry. Persistence of structure across two zoom frames rules out a stellar point-source.

🎥 STEVENSON ACE HARDWARE — RECTANGULAR CRAFT (0:06) — Dusk handheld video by the Perceiver. Storefront fully lit below, moon on one side of the frame, a dark elongated rectangular object holding silhouette on the other. Witnesses Tom Sikora and Josh Aldrich present on the ground at the moment of capture. Full Stevenson Ace Hardware entry is mirrored on /uap-encounters under "Rectangular Craft Over Stevenson Ace Hardware."

⚠ INTELLECTUAL HONESTY //Conventional readings would attribute the rectangular silhouette to (a) a distant fixed-wing aircraft seen edge-on at the moment of capture, (b) a high-altitude weather balloon or radiosonde package drifting through the Gorge wind corridor, (c) a power-line transformer or utility component on the parking-lot perimeter projected against the sky in the wide-angle frame, (d) a window reflection or lens-flare interaction between the moon and the camera optics in low light, or (e) a digital compression / sensor artifact at the dynamic-range boundary between the bright moon and the dark sky. Those are all valid baseline hypotheses, and the Perceiver acknowledges them up front. The reason the drop is published anyway is operational: TWO named witnesses (Tom Sikora and Josh Aldrich) stood on the same ground at the same moment and saw the same object, and the coordinate sits inside the Stevenson / Columbia River Gorge corridor that this archive has already documented as carrying recurring anomalous signature. That co-occurrence is what flags the site for credentialed review by AARO, the Congressional UAP Caucus, FAA Northwest Mountain Region, Skamania County Sheriff, and Washington State Patrol.
