The report, as filed
This morning about 600 am im sitting on the porch watching the sunrise. I see a silver object in the sky and think it Venus. It then shoots straight up. I Took the shot before it disappeared. I took a picture of it as it streaked upward.

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.

It ended up disappearing into the clouds, was only able to catch it at the last moment. There was only one and it flew straight up into the clouds. Couldn’t really see much detail because of the sunlight.

This evening at approximately 9:55PM in Waynesboro,PA, we witnessed multiple sightings of what appeared to be an unidentified craft ascending from the East at the near top of South Mountain. When the object first appeared, you could see what looked like the launching of a space rocket with a fiery base as it ascended straight up into the night sky in a SLOW ascension. The object would move slowly and go directly to the skies and then take what looked like a ‘slight wiggle pattern’ to the right before beginning to do what I can only describe as ‘cloaking’ itself. These objects (5 total witnessed) all followed the same pattern and did the same things. The appearance of each would take about 5 minutes before disappearing into thin air. Some were bright orange (4), only the second one was red. No sounds were heard in the night skies. At one point, several flashes of white light appeared across the horizon. The lights came from the north and looked like wide beams of strobe-like beams that you would only see in a rock concert setting. My friend and I tried to capture these objects ascending to the skies while holding our iPhones.
