Circle over Palmyra, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Very slow moving object in South Eastern sky. Viewed object with binoculars and there were at least three distinct red lights pulsating in a pattern along with blue or green lights as well. There was a central white light, too. No sound. My husband saw it and has no explanation. I texted my best friend who lives in the area of the sighting and she saw it too. None of us know what it is, but it's not a star.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #131220). 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.

Was unloading car, turned around and seen Rocket with white plumes behind it in sky looking South towards Lancaster, looked really cool so I videoed about 30 seconds of it then went about unloading rest of car . Later I watched it back and noticed at 12 seconds in there was a small light very fast goes past rocket. When I paused the video and went frame for frame you can plainly see a craft comes up behind then beside then out front where it takes off like a flash. Whatever it was it was going way faster then that rocket

Woke up to a loud humming and machine-like rumbling. But didn’t sound like anything I’ve heard before. It was loud right outside my window, and right when I woke up, it sounded like it flew away. And I could hear the hum of the ufo after it left. Very deep pitch. As it flew away, the pitch of the hum went up and lasted for a few minutes. And then later in the night, the sound came back for a couple minutes, and was gone again. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

..Noticed from the west a fast moving orange glowing object, as it gained altitude I saw through binoculars a lighted object drop from it, only visable for a second, as the main object with the orange halo around it became smaller as it moved higher and more rapidly to the east. Then looking back to the west, we saw another one coming the same direction. This one did not have the same glowing halo around it but again through binoculars I saw an orange light underneath a solid dark craft with no wings and appeared to be domed, circular and rotating. This one was at a lower altitude and turned to the north as I lost view of it behind some trees. They were close enough to be heard but there was no sound. All took place in about one minute.

I was driving up Forge Rd. here in town on my way home. I went to turn left down my street and about 10 extremely big white/yellowish lights were hovering in the sky over a field. I saw about 10 lights in a half oval and the lights were diminishing one by one and then, all of a sudden, the last 4 or 5 light went out at once. I was under it off to the right and there was NOTHING in they sky no planes no flood light nothing. I called the Palmyra police and they laughed at me and I was the first to call they said. I went home went on facebook and my close friend saw it as well but he had 2 other people that could testify that we all saw the same thing. He posted something to Facebook a little video of the very end. I'm really freaking out. I have seen other pictures of sightings in Arizona and Florida and its the SAME thing I saw. I I'm very freaked out by what I saw and to know others saw what I did has me freaking out even more and this is why I am contacting you! !!!!! Source of report confirms that the time of sighting was 9:16 p.m., not a.m.. PD

Saw orangish-red orb moving slowly in northward direction. No sound with the sighting. Appeared to emit or drop something that was the same color of the orb. The orb started to dim before going completely dark.

The single UFO was at first in a straight line from left to right blinking and flying across my window. Thinking it was a plane and it was 3:30 AM, I decided I would just close my eyes and go to bed. Of course I had to keep watching it until it flew away, though. Right after the object disappeared, it came from right to left as it's single light stayed on. It flew around in circles for a bit then left the scene. Witness indicates that the date is approximate. PD
