Triangle over Lemasters, PA

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

You could see the lights as it approached and as it passed overhead a little in front of where we stood. The lights formed a triangle on the bottom extremities of the craft. What was unusual, there were no green lights, no white lights, no flashing. It was dark and you could not really see any distinct shape of the craft other than it looked like a triangle. The other oddity was the sound and the slow speed. It sounded like a muffled jet, no high pitch whine, very quiet. Another unusual thing was the speed and height. It was traveling way too slow for a jet and could not have been more than 150 to 200 feet off the ground. This craft continued up the valley toward Letterkenny Army Depot and out of sight. Triangle, black, 3 red non blinking lights. Three or four years ago, we seen a boom-a-rang shaped craft coming down this valley. We drove north of Lemasters to get a closer look. It had a normal white light on the front, which looked like a landing light. As it neared the end of the mountain range at Parnell’s Knob, it laid over on its side and traversed the end of the mountain. It made a very unusual maneuver. As you looked at the craft coming toward you and for it to turn to your left (its right), you would think the right side would tilt down slightly as it made the turn. This thing laid over perpendicular to the ground, left side down, made the turn and came back to a level plane and continued flying west over Fort Loudon and beyond sight. When it made the turn on its side, you could see a white light at the center front and each end. No colored nav lights, no flashing. Based on the size and the close distance of observation, this thing should have fallen out of the air it was moving so slow. There was no sound. As to the height, it was slightly lower than Mt Parnell as it made the turn. Boom-a-rang, no tail, color black. Observers: Retired Quality Engineer (Air Force Vet), retired Federal Secretary, High School Teacher

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.
