Unknown over Cochranville, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My wife and I witnessed an unidentified aircraft in zip code 19330. It was hovering approx. 800-1000 ft off the ground for approx. 3-5 minutes. My wife saw it doing a slow circular motion before I got outside. While we both watched, it traveled at a very slow speed, about 5mph in a very direct manner. When the craft was closest to us, we could hear a very quiet humming as if it was an efficient high powered fan. The craft had the lights which were blinking. The craft appeared to be about the size of a bi-plane or larger though we couldn't see the outline in the dark. It is our belief that this was a drone of some sort, but it was quite large and unidentified.

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.
