Sphere over Willow Grove, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
After lunch, I stopped to admire the clouds before heading into my office. That's when I observed a small, silvery sphere floating below a cloud to the northeast. This sphere rose into the cloud and I momentary lost sight of it but I'm a few seconds it dropped back out of the cloud toward a larger cloud below it. The sphere then skirted along the edge of this cloud for a bit before dropping into that cloud and disapppearing from view. During the duration of this sighting 2 commercial airliners also traversed this general area of the sky.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #141887). 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.

A neon green "boomerang-type" UFO was sighted by me in the sky twice within ten (10) minutes. It "danced" in the sky and disappeared both times. No aircraft moves in the manner I witnessed, as the movements were very quick and sharp.

n the PA Turnpike, travelling west toward Ft. Washington exit. Mile before Doylestown exit of turnpike, noticed an oblong cigar type shape in the sky. It would flash red then green and yellow. Cannot remember whether red light was on bottom or top. But it would alternate back and forth, red - green yellow. Red - green yellow. It sat in sky never moving only the flashing sights. I watched it until. I could no longer see it as my car passed by it. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD
