Light over Quarryville, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was sitting in the bleachers watching a tractor pull (noisy event) when i observed two pairs of orangish lights traveling slowly across the sky at a rate of a slow small aircraft or helicopter. The first pair turned to the SW, then another pair appeared from the east, then another, each pair turning to the SW following the same path. There were a total of 16 lights. The objects disappeared below the treeline to the South of the grandstands. I thought someone was flying small RC drones as part of the town fair. That was for the first 4. Then the next 4 came and I thought they might be helicopters doing something for Aberdeen Proving Ground (about 45 min drive SW of us)...which may well be the case, but no information has yet surfaced.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #113668). 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.
