Oval over Cross Run, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Driving northbound on 81 south of Hazleton. One oval-shaped natural, but bright, light appeared to the west of the Highway around 1,000 feet above ground level (they seemed very close). Within seconds there were 10-15 lights to the west stretching out over the next mile. They were not in a line, they were all over. We could see additional lights behind trees and as we continued we were able to see that the lights continued into the distance. Entire family was in car but only wife was awake. We are both former military with extensive knowledge of helicopters, this was something different. There was no noise coming from these, complete silence.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #150214). 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.
