Changing over South Williamsport, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Observed stationary light of varying colors, orange, red which slowly became smaller until it couldn't be seen. At that time another yellow ball of indistinct shape became visible moving north. It became ball shaped changing colors, red, yellow, orange. It slowly over a period of a minute or so became smaller until it also was lost in the sky. At that time another ball appeared and repeated the same thing. It did not appear as a sky lantern as I have observed them before.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #111845). 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.

This was a very bright orange wegde shaped triangle seen at night, flying silently. There were no flashes, like on an airplane, the entire craft was a glowing fire-colored orange. It didn't make any noise as it flew probably 1000 feet above the ground. We watched until the trees blocked our view. It flew in a steady, straight path.

Strange yellow light moved up the side of the mountain, into the air and then disappeared.
