Light over Wilson, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Me and my boyfriend were driving on Rt. 22 Sunday night around 11 pm when we both noticed three orange/red lights in the sky. I thought they were the orange street lights on the highway at first, but as I kept staring I noticed that the three lights were forming an acute triangle and they were not moving very fast. I tried looking for a string or wire they could have been hanging off of, but I couldn't see anything. It was a cloudy night so I couldn't make out any stars or planes in sight. These three lights just sort of hovered above the 25th St. shopping center near Olive Garden. We started to drive underneath them and I had to turn my head back to look at them (which means they were not moving or they were moving very slowly). They were pretty bright lights and they did not flicker or flash at all. They were pretty stagnant as well; they didn't move around a lot and they kept the triangle shape consistent. Today 8/4/14 my boyfriend drove on Rt. 22 again and drove on the same exact spot that we saw the lights at last night, but they were not there anymore. They were too low to the ground to be air planes and too high up to be street lights. I tried for hours to try and come up with a logical explanation and I couldn't. I do not want to jump to conclusions, but it looked like all the stories you hear about UFO's.

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.
