Other over Shickshinny, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
It was foggy misty and overcast. It was a little after 3 a.m. time is not exact either way. The Southeastern sky flashed with this odd blueish color for a few seconds. I thought perhaps there was a distant storm as there was a cold front moving through and it was colder. I kept watching for it to happen again, but it did not. It was very overcast, but the moon was still casting a lot of light.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #137713). 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.
