Fireball over Duncannon, PA

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

At approximately 21:30 on July 4, 2015, my fiance, stepson, and I witnessed a large object that appeared to be a fireball. The object appeared to rise in the eastern sky heading westerly. We observed the object for approximately 1 minute before it completely disappeared. I was unable to capture it with any recording devices. I attempted to record it but failed. The object appeared to be traveling in our direction prior to its complete disappearance. We have no idea what we witnessed. However, we are absolutely positive it was not an airplane, nor can we identify the object as anything we have ever witnessed.

Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #120031). 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.

Duncannon, PA

Saw what I can only describe as two objects above the clouds emitting light moving in circles at a fast and steady pace in multiple locations in the night sky. I didn’t hear any noise from then. It kinda seems like at one point they may have been chasing one another.
