Light over McKeesport, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We just got out of a meeting and we're heading to our car when I looked up and noticed a very bright light in the sky after a couple seconds I realized it was Venus. While I was admiring the brightness of it I noticed other stars that were moving there were 5 of them evenly spaced moving in a straight line appearing out of nowhere. There were no red or blue flashing lights on them and in there vicinity was another aircraft that did have flashing red and blue lights. They looked like stars in formation is the best I can describe them. My buddy said maybe they were military helicopters but I would think they would have some type of colored lights like planes. At first, there was just 3, and then number 4 appeared and then 5 appeared, like just blinked in to exsistance.

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.
