Changing over Bethel Park/Castle Shannon, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Driving along Route 8,8 we noticed 4 bright orange color lights just sitting in the sky in a square shape. As we continued to drive the lights began to slowly move closer to each other. That is when we realized they were individual lights rather than lights from one object. Then they began to move in fast circular motion and more came. Started receiving facebook messages and video from others witnessing the same sighting. Dogs were barking continuously and eventually would just whimper in friends' neighborhood. We started seeing helicopters flying and police rushing toward the area. We never stopped. Just kept driving to get home.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #113236). 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.
