Disk over Jacobus, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Ten minutes into the Jacobus fireworks a multi green light silent disc came up fast from the south and stopped over fireworks. Moved a couple times just like something joystick driven in a game. Hung out 10 min then went fast back south. Fifteen min later just reappeared, I did not see it come from anywhere. This time it was red and strobing & doing everything it could to look like a plane. Except planes don’t hover silently in the same spot for 10 min. Then went strait back south fast again for the last time.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #128262). 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.
