A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
It went from east to west, circled around and disappeared to the west finally. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Sorry. This is a sincere report. I got the date wrong. I was excited when filling it out. I have a few friends on YouTube in NE PA that said a bunch of Blackhawks were out looking for something also. Have you heard any reports about anything at all? Plane crash or ufo crash. It was last night when I seen that. I'm sorry about the screw up ((END ADDENDUM)) We have changed the date above. We are unconvinced that this report was intended as a seriou-minded description of a sighting. PD

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.

My daughter and I were walking in town. I happened to look up and spotted this ufo. It was moving slowly across the sky. We probably watched it for 20 minutes. Then in a flash it was gone. My daughter took a video, I took pictures.
