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.

I'm a truck driver driving on I-81 south towards Maryland, when I noticed a helicopter. The first object I knew was a helicopter, cause I saw it fly close by. Then about ten minutes later, I saw another object in the far distance with a light blinking on the side or near top of it flying towards the interstate where I was driving. I automatically aSsumed it was another helicopter, but noticed even from a far distance the shape of it was weird!. The sun was about to set completely. There was still a little bit of sunlight, so it was easier to see what it shockingly was when it flew over me. As the craft flew closer and closer to me on the interstate, I looked at it for a couple of seconds on and off, watching the road at the same time. The craft was only about 300 feet in the air. It was very close to the ground. As it finally flew right over the interstate and my semi, I noticed that it was shockingly triangular to diamond shaped and had huge white beam lights on all three to four sides of the craft on, bottom facing the ground. There was still a little sunlight, so I could see it was definitely not a helicopter or plane that I have ever seen or heard of! I was only able to look at it flying right under me for about three seconds, cause I had to watch the road. Even just seeing it those three seconds gives me the chills and goosebumps!! I continued to look at it from my side mirror on driver's side as it flew behind me until I couldn't see it anymore in my side mirrors. I was wondering if you'll have anyone else reported seeing this in Wilke Barre, Pennsylvania, area June 26, 201,9 to you'll. If you would let me know I'd appreciate it! Just so I know I'm not alone in seeing this, if it was a ufo.…

As the wbs penguins game was letting out, I observed a bright flashing white light in the sky. I realized the light was flashing SOS in morse code. I pointed this out to my wife and a few others. My initial thought in this day and age of terrorism was a hijacked aircraft flashing the landing lights. The object appeared to be slowly getting closer. Again I thought aircraft that was far away and high. The white light stopped flashing and was replaced with a solid green light. The object then appeared to accelerate rapidly, come more overhead, and stop again. It flashed SOS in white light 2 more times. The green light then accelerated rapidly back in the same direction it came from out of sight. The object came from and returned to the west. The moon was up but mostly obscured by clouds. When the object was more overhead, it appeared there was more than just a light. The green light seemed to illuminate some of the underside. It was so high however that i could not swear to what shape the object was. I tried to get video, but my phone would not work. My wife did get some video, but it is not very good.

A rectangle object very big with multicolor lights was going in circles for a period of 45mins, in a very slow speed. No sound. We have changed the date above, to reflect a sighting in October, not November. PD
