Light over Hereford Township, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Walked onto porch to watch fireworks in the distance for New Years but these light balls were red out in the distance possibly down towards Lansdale or Harleysville, PA, and they were just sitting there for a lengthy period of time without any chance in altitude. these red lights would just sit there and then randomly split and still hover, and eventually go out after 45 seconds to a minute. They were not lanterns or flares. First there was 5 then 7 and then they started vanishing and coming back until there was only 1.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #125202). 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.
