Light over Brookville, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
PRELIMINARY REPORT, ON BEHALF OF EYEWITNESS: A professional, long-distance truck driver telephoned the Hotline to report a sighting of a large "cloud" of multi-colored lights, that appeared to be moving across the sky, but which were being obscured by a large cloud in the morning sky. The witness reported that he was unable to see the source of the light, but that it was quite dramatic in appearance. The witness volunteered to submit a written report, once he is off the road, and has access to his home computer. Rocket launch from Wallops Island. PD
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #134833). 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.
