Circle over Camp Hill, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I came home and parked my car. As I circled behind my car I looked at the stars to the north. I noticed what looked like 3 stars in a row but they were moving slowly to the east. A fourth dot appeared behind them and traveled in the same path. As the first dot started fading a fifth appeared. There were 4-6 visible at any given time. I called my wife out to make sure I wasn't just seeing things and she confirmed that it looked very abnormal and they were moving in a line then would fade out after traveling for 10-15 seconds. We tried to take pictures or videos but our phones could not pick them up. After about two minutes the lead dots started fading and no more appeared. I watched the sky for a few more minutes and they didn't return.

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.

We observed one saucer-shaped object as you can see in the first photo. Then, it split (or the first object emitted a bunch of smaller objects) and the resulting objects took off in separate directions— straight up and straight down — (“reformed” post-split saucer up, small Vs / geometric line objects down - see second photo - zoom in to see detail - 4th photo is a zoom of one of these smaller objects), before the saucer shot due East across the Southern night sky, with incredible speed, while the smaller objects quickly disappeared. The saucer was chased immediately afterwards by what appeared to be a military drone, low and moving at high speed.

We saw a triangle shaped object with 3 lights on the points of the triangle. It was moving pretty fast and disappeared at about 1 minute and 30 seconds towards the Wal-Mart across Route 518 from my location. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I was driving and entered a shopping mall parking lot and when leaving I noticed an object to the east. This was an object that seemed to hover at one point and move in a circle around a certain location. There was 1 main light which was white and I think there was a smaller red and a white light. It was similar to an object that I saw on 3/10/17 around about the same time. That one seemed to have 2 lights like spot lights which seemed to rotate or the object rotated. Both objects where similar to helicopters but I could say that they were.
