Triangle over Loganstown (west of; Hwy 80), PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Saw bright white flashes in the sky that made us look- we thought lightning. Then a HUGE triangular shape appeared with big, bright red lights on each corner. This thing took up a big portion of the sky. The lights were so bright that you could clearly make out the shape. We all stared for several seconds. Two of us went to get out cameras for video keeping eyes on the lights. Then the brightest beam of white light came down from the center of the triangle and it was gone. I looked away long enough to hit video on my phone and point me camera out the window and it was gone. No sign of lights anywhere. This thing was not moving across the sky, only hovering. It made no noise. Just appeared and disappeared. After it was gone, the cars GPS that we had our maps loaded on went to black and all our cell phone service was lost. Strangest thing I have ever saw!!!

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.
