Light over Cowansville, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Walking home from gas station around 8:45pm. About 1 mile from my home. Its just getting dark, so I'm looking at the sky when over the trees comes the brightest light i have ever seen it moved above me and over me towards the west. As I was watching this light it disappeared. So I just thought airplane moved into clouds but then I saw an airplane same direction but it was a snail compared to the light I saw and I could see it for a very long time after it passed. Also the airplane made noise and the light did not...i dont know what i saw but it was amazing to see

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.
