Formation over Bridgewater, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I went to take the dog out for the night before the start of a coming storm and saw about 50 bright white lights clustered in a long formation. As I called for my 20 yr old daughter to come out my neighbors were both watching it. No noise and all seemed to float at a steady fast pace in the same direction. During the 5 mins we watched the brightness never changed and the pace stayed steady. I told my daughter to video it with her phone. I had considered weather balloons since we were just getting the start of a thunder/lighting storm, but there were too many to be weather balloons. My neighbor said there was a Relay for Life at the park 1 mile from the house so I thought maybe Chinese lanterns, but their website had the event only on Sat 17 to Sun 19. No activities tonight, plus again we had an approaching storm.

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.
