Disk over Wrightsville, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
They had bright orange lights and seemed to be flying just ahead of the storm. They did not fly like normal aircraft and some flew against the wind, so weather balloons or something similar seems unlikely. I ran outside and was able to spot 2 more, which I pointed out to my neighbor. She told me she saw 2 craft identical to these 4/5 days ago, flying right in front of a storm.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #135809). 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.

My sister in law called me around 22:30 As she was driving from the lancaster side of the river heading west on route 30 and said to me can you see the lights above the river I live about 10 minutes from the on ramp to 30 and I could see the disk from my front window my house faces south east and I could make out the shape and colors (the lights were not flashing like aircraft would)

We have corrected the time above. We suspect the witness was observing a so-called "twinkling" star. PD
