Circle over Claymont, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
One night about two years ago, my mother,sister, and I went to a local KFC/Taco Bell next to a Home Depot along the I-95 highway. we went in a truck and I was young and wanted to ride in the truck bed, so I did. We were in line at the drive through, and as I was laying down face-up, I saw a single circle-shaped white object that looked like it was emitting a faint white glow. The object entered my field of view from almost directly South, going North by North-West. After about 1 to 2 seconds of straight movement, it began moving North-East. We were nearby to an airport at the time and I knew all the types of aircraft that flew in the area, along with their identifying lights. The object was going far faster than any other planes I had seen, and made a strange turn that looked like someone drawing a 113 degree angle, with a sudden change in course at the point of turning.

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.
