Sphere over Tobyhanna, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Amber/gold round lights, traveling from NW to SE. Solid color, no flashing and totally silent. One light, then approximately 30 seconds later followed by two closer together, and 30 seconds after that followed by another single one. Appeared to be much lower than most planes and in a completely different flight path than any planes observed during our 18 years residence at this location. Vector was approximately half way between horizon and apex of sky, towards the west. All four lights were moving in a straight-line formation. Witnessed by three adults on clear night. Some video recorded on cell phone.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #135438). 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.

I live out here in the mountains (2000 feet up) , so it's perfect for night viewing and there's always interesting stuff out here it seems. I've seen meteors burn up several times.. but this was no meteor. It was a lighted object , just as faint as some of the stars out there. But it was moving. I couldn't believe my eyes at first, because it literally looked THAT far away, like it was one of the stars that are hundreds of light years away, But was moving from due south to due north. and then out of view. I got my cell-phone but the light from it was faint, and wouldn't even come into view on there. It was definitely not a meteor or asteroid because it moved in a straight line from south to north and never was there any fainting of the the solid light. It was of the same solid color (white or yellow) the whole time. No blinking or blinking lights of any kind either. Planes fly through here all the time, and this was no plane from this planet. It honestly just looked like an orb of light moving from south to north....but it was VERY far away it seemed. The light on the object may of been from the sun setting as well, as the sun set like an hour (or more) ago , but up that high, I could see how the sun could reflect things from that angle. There was also no sound. This was amazing and my first official UFO sighting. You can email me back if any questions, but otherwise I prefer to remain anon.

Lighted object in the SW sky, looked like a star but moved southward and slowly faded out. Then moved north 10 minutes later.
