Circle over East Rochester, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
On February 27, around 6pm, I was standing outside of the Long John Silver’s restaurant on route 65 in East Rochester, PA. I took photos of what I believe was Venus shining bright in the sky. I took 5 shots in about 10 seconds. I did not notice a red light that seemed to be all over the sky in those photos, until I viewed them later. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

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.
