Formation over Harrison City, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Looking to the west from my deck I noticed an unusually low and slow moving bright white starburst object heading east. At first I thought it was a helicopter, but I thought it unusual because there was no sound. I watched as it moved toward me and grabbed my camera. Just as I took pictures. A second object appeared along side the first. The second object was red and glowing. The two danced around and then seemed to merge. A split second after they came together they disappeared, shooting straight up.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #130537). 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.
