Light over Sharon, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was driving in my car and as I was moving toward the south I noticed an orangeish-red light in the sky. There were several stars visible already, and this was quite a bit larger. It was about a quarter the size of a full moon. At first, I considered it to be a helicopter or an aircraft, yet it didn't move, it just hovered. I watched it as I drove for about three minutes. When I got to a stop sign, I took a picture with my phone and waited there for a minute. There were others walking on the street who were pointing to it. I turned east and could no longer see it and about two minutes later asked my husband to come get in the car. We drove around for about five minutes trying to find it but it was gone. As we were walking in the house, again we noticed it in the sky. Behind it were light clouds. I had to take my son in to get him to sleep, and my husband watched it for about five minutes until he saw that it had disappeared. I went outside about ten minutes later and walked around and eventually it reappeared again. It was in a different position in the sky but still was not moving. I called a neighbor and waited for him to arrive, and after glowing in the sky, it slowly faded smaller and smaller until it was no longer observable. It did not flicker, blink, nor move. It was a hazy-type light. As I walked around with the neighbor again to see if we could spot it, another neighbor arrived and said that he, too, had seen it.

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.

On a clear, Saturday night on March 5th, 2022 at 8:20, I was stopped at a stop sign at the end of Liberty St. In Sharon, Pa. I was about to turn right onto the freeway. When I looked left, I noticed in the sky what I thought at first to be a paper lantern, lit and floating straight up. It seemed to knowing float right up past my view from the drivers side of my sedan. So, I took my phone out and tilted it up, out of my car window and took a picture. I was able to take a few more pictures as, this bright light was seeming to stay for about a half an hour, changing shapes and directions and seemed to be kind of putting on a show or "dancing". After taking some pictures and, for some reason not even thinking of video recording, I decided to move on with traffic..but, I drove to a parking lot and parked and was able to see the u.f.o travel across the state line into Ohio but it disappeared uneventfully right before it reached the horizon.

Saw what I can best describe as a fleet of different crafts. Some moved like a gyroscope, some formed an echelon. Different sizes. Disappeared one at a time after about 45 minutes of stationary position. There was one very large craft, moved slowly and silently. Its color was best described as old car oil and the lights on it were almost beneath it's surface as if it was under a skin. Then it just was gone.

Standing outside looking NW we see a dot come from behind a cloud, followed by another and another, etc. These "lights" were not flashing. All followed one behind the other, appears to be equal distants apart. The "Lights" would appear from behind a cloud, travel some distance and disappear one after the other. Thisbwas not an "illusion" as the clouds moving EW and we saw them all pass an actual star to prove to us the "lights" were in fact moving.

Well, I went outside because my wife told me she had seen a strange light in the sky. We traveled for several minutes trying to observe it. When we were reentering the house, it was in the sky and I spotted it. I was facing west. What I saw seemed like a small ball of gas rolling across the sky. It was orange and larger than a star. It was about an 8th of the size of the full moon. It appeared to flicker. It seemed like a ball of gas burning and seemed to roll.

Sharon, PA
On July fourth, 2015, at 9:22 pm, I witnessed four red/orange fireballs facing south southeast in Sharon, PA. They appeared climbing high in the sky as the were on fire, they flickered like a flame. They were the size of a large star, maybe a bit bigger. Some would appear as they were flying fast, and some would just materialize in the sky. In my opinion they were not fire works because the fireballs would hover for several minutes and also move left to right and up and down. The fireball UFOs would also fly away super fast and some just disappear. https://youtu.be/ako2KbxeI74
