Formation over New Cumberland, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
So I am driving on my way home and notice a orange colored object just near the cloud cover we had. Further up the rosd around a bend there are now multiple orange colored objects in my line of sight. At this point I am looking south where a corn field area gives you a view of Reesers Summit. This is where these multiple objects seem to be rising from the top of the Summit. I pulled off the road in a spot near the Pa. Turnpike and took some photos. These objects all moved in the same direction which would be off to the north more or less. I would like to add they seemed to look a little bit likr Chinese lanterns. They all seemed to rise up into the cloud cover.

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.

At 10:06 pm, on 3-12-2016, traveling east on the Pennsylvania Turnpike, about 1 mile from Exit 242, a bright red ball suddenly appeared in the sky coming from the north. The ball was traveling at a fast pace, seemed to hover overhead then started to rise when it just vanished. Photos were taken with a cell phone. When photos were enlarged, ball actually appears to be a tear drop shape containing a bright white light, surrounded by a red exterior. Prior to seeing the red object, there were two bright lightening type flashes that occurred about 2 miles from where the red object was visible.
