Unknown over Robinson, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I went to the store to buy something, and on the way I spotted a strange looking star in the sky. I noticed that it was much brighter than the other stars and had very dim blue and red flashing lights on the sides. It was stationary. I bought my item from the store and when I went back outside it was in the same spot. I recorded it on my phone, noting that if it was a star it was the only one appearing on my phone's camera. I showed it to my mother and brother, who didn't really think much of it.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #144756). 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.
