Light over Montoursville, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
The 4 lights would take to box shape then line formation. Several times 2-3 of the unknown objects would disappear below the horizon and within a few moments reappear without trace to extreme heights and back into a formation without movement again. The unknown objects would converge on one another at very rapid speeds and then disappear for a moment, then reappear back into a shape. Please note that our view has zero obstructions, no trees, no hillsides, no city lights, no cellular towers. The objects gave off a reddish orange glow. Again, we are very familiar with this area and unlike anything we have ever seen. There were no planes or helicopters flying in the area. The objects were visible for over 20 minutes. They completely disappeared into the night sky approximately 23:35. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he sounded to us to be quite sincere and sober-minded. We suspect that he is an excellent witness. He is former military. 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.
