Sphere over Trexlertown, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Out looking at Saturn and mars, noticed a red and white blinking orb above and left of the moon. Moved slowly left and right then hovered. Changed to solid red and shot up in a diagonal pattern, stopped, would drop down, stop, drop down, moved right then quickly to the left. Went back to basically the same area i started to see it at. Then dropped down close to the horizon, then was gone.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #109513). 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.
