Formation over Portage, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I got home from work early in the AM and looked up at the sky. I noticed a small cluster of white orbs which I thought were stars at first. I noticed they would get bright then dissapear and reappear anywhere from 10-15 seconds. They were pretty high up with in a formation that resembled and arrow. 2 in a straight line going up and 3 that formed the “arrowhead” I watched them for about 15 minutes. They did not move far and to me it looked like the 2 that were in a straight line would hover closer then farther away from each other. I also noticed a few shooting stars the same night.

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.
