All vertices of a regular tetrahedron \( A B C D \) are located on one side of the plane \( \alpha \). It turns out that the projections of the vertices of the tetrahedron onto the plane \( \alpha \) are the vertices of a certain square. Find the value of \(A B^{2}\), given that the distances from points \( A \) and \( B \) to the plane \( \alpha \) are 17 and 21, respectively.
