Disk over Smithton, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We took the road that runs along the field to get a better look. As we crested the hill the lights disappear and nothing was there. We actually forgot what we were doing there. We both actually about what we saw for a few days. Then one week later we both asked each other about it and we both remembered seeing the same thing. Shortly after we talked about it and decided we were going to tell someone about what we saw, I had a major seizure.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #144228). 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.
