A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
MY HUSBAND AND I WERE HEADING SOUTH ON 79,IT WAS 5:40AM. THE CRAFT WAS FLYING LOW AND GOING AT A SLOW PACE. IT WAS FLYING A MILE OR SO AHEAD OF US.WE THOUGHT IT WAS A HELICOPTER AT FIRST BUT WHEN WE APPROACHED IT CLOSER IT LOOKED LIKE A ROUND DISC WITH 2 OR MORE BLINKING LIGHTS.WE WATCHED IT FLY WEST OF US GOING TOWARD BRIDGEVILLE. THE DISC DID NOT LOOK LIKE IT WAS SPINNING. JUST DRIFTING ACROSS THE HIGHWAY. IT TRAVELED ABOUT 200 HUNDRED FEET OR MORE AND THEN IT WAS HARD TO SEE BECAUSE OF THE TREES.I WISH THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN SOME DAYLIGHT. NEVER HAVE WE SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS. I DIDN'T HAVE A CAMERA TO TAKE ANY PICTURES, BUT I DO NOT THINK YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE ANYTHING OUT BECAUSE THE SKY WAS DARK AND SO WAS THE DISC.

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.
