Circle over Edinboro, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Our town did not have fireworks this evening (Fourth of July) so many in our area were having their own. Myself and two others went out to check the town out but as we approached the car I noticed a red "ball" in the sky, sort of hanging there high up and then it moved erratically across the sky in a jagged, forward motion. My friends agreed that it was moving strangely and appeared to be engulfed in fire (?). A father and son stopped their vehicle and saw the object as well. We watched it until it seemed to either fade out or move away from us. Incredible to see. Any others see this!?!?
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #110921). 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.
