Circle over Glassport, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
This isn’t the first time that I’ve seen something like this. I was standing outside on Friday night and I saw something out the corner of my eye. So I looked and I saw a faint circle of light going clockwise. Then I saw another light going counter clockwise. It was going on for about ten minutes.. It looked like it was ether in the clouds or above them. It was very cloudy that night. Then, this airplane flew towards the lights then turned away from the lights then after a couple minutes the lights disappeared. The whole thing lasted for about 15 minutes.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #114991). 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.
