Fireball over Folsom, PA

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

At 6:57 pm est i video recorded two glowing fireballs flying @1600’ right behind one another, with constant speed 300mph right behind each other in the same pattern. Never changing altitude or course very straight in the flight pattern. We watched until they disappeared in the clouds i checked with my phones siri to check on flights above me and nothing was scheduled. As a drone pilot these made no noise and am very familiar with drones and flights of them. This was not two drone flying the same flight pattern and speed and direction impossible.

Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #162035). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

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.

Folsom, PA

We were sitting in our yard as we frequently do on weekends. We like to watch for satellites, the ISS, etc., and have seen these plenty of times and are very familiar with them. At 22:17 (10:17 PM ET) we saw this orange light appear from the NW sky and it moved slowly across the sky to the NE and then disappeared as it reached a certain point in the distance, much like a satellite does. However, unlike a satellite or the ISS, this object was much larger, approx. the size of a dime held at arm's length and it was orange like fire, but was not a fireball. It was bigger than any airplane lights and there were no flashing lights. It was just a solid orange light and it was silent. It took around two minutes to move across the sky.
