Egg over Upper St. Clair, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Just before sundown, a bright white object was seen in the sky. It was larger and brighter than a star or planet, as if it were closer. It appeared round on the left side but less defined on the right (I think because the sun was shining on the left side of it). It seemed stationary in the couple minutes we watched it, but when the sun went down and we looked again, it was gone.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #129036). 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.
