Formation over Chester, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
J.R. 619-((telephone number deleted))...saw 4 lights straight across horizontal, constantly flashing, craft descended, hovered for a few SEC's, then completely disappeared. The object dwarfed a nearby plane. The object was emmense, extremely large. It dwarfed a jumbo jet...just trying to stress the size of the object! I am sober, coherent and sane. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides little contact information. PD
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #131705). 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.

A fire ball of an object appeared over my house. It was sitting in one place as I filmed it but began to move when the film started. It was white. Then there were two blue oblong type shaped items the showed in the video. It was a cloudy evening there were no stars showing. I shot two videos of the object.

I was sitting in my car talking to my buddy who was facing me. As I looked up at his face to respond to him I saw a super bright electric blue perfect circle go flying by in the sky way above the cloud shelf. It was flying faster than anything I've ever seen in my life and I am 30 years old. I've seen plenty of shooting stars some in person and meteors in video. It was not like those at all. I am having a hard time describing what I saw, but I would say it was a perfect circle, it was electric blue very bright possibly the brightest thing I've ever seen. It flew faster than any man made object. It was flying at a million miles an hour, it was that fast and it had absolutely no trail behind it and no rays coming from it and it did not flash or flicker it stayed lit. It was flying from the north towards the direction of the moon. The only reason I lost sight of it was because of very thick cloud cover and then it was gone. I hope this is descriptive enough for others to envision what I saw. I am not a huge believer of UFOS but I'm not closed minded either. I don't know why we are so special that we are the only things that exist. But I can say this is the first and only time I have witnessed anything like this. I'm still having trouble understanding what I just saw. It is not man made in my opinion because the G's this thing was pulling due to its speed would surely kill anything from this planet. My background is that I am 30 years old a white male and work at a private golf club in PA. College educated and extremely mechanically inclined and I am an avid fan of cars mostly muscle cars. I own a supercharged Buick daily driver and a 68 Chevelle Complete and a 69 Camaro in progress. Okay so that's about it for me. I hope Im not the only person who saw this tonight in PA.
