Cigar over Boalsburg, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
There was a bright orange line in the sky, not very big. If you held your thumb out full extension, it would be approximately the size of the tip of your finger. It was an orange faded color in the back, and three bright orange specks inside of the faded orange. Object stayed stationary, disappeared after approximately 2 minutes The lights did not flash, nor did the object move. So it could have not been a civilian aircraft.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #114368). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

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.
