Unknown over Telford, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I went out to my car with my 6 year old granddaughter. I noticed the full moon and then noticed 5 bright red stationary twinkling lights in a perfect zigzag formation in the sky. At first I thought they were lights being turned out at a ball field then realized they were slowly moving in formation with no sound. I started to drive in the direction of the lights and called my parents, whose house I had just left, and told them to look out their front window. They, too, witnessed the lights but one by one the lights disappeared until they were all out. I drove about half a mile down the road towards them. They were way further than I had originally thought. They slowly disappeared.

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.
