Light over Melcroft, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Hello, Tonight around 9:20pm I was traveling on route 711 in westmoreland county, just north of Normalville in the region of melcroft. I saw what I thought were two planes with blinking red lights that were very close to each other. I then noticed the lights turn west and at this time I realized they were part of the same object. I pulled over on the side of the road to watch it better. It appeared as though each light was at either end of the structure but I could not tell what was in between but it definitely looked connected. The ufo then appeared to be landing somewhere to the left. If I had to guess, I would say in the area of White (from what I could tell by looking at the map.) I wasn't able to get a picture because it was too dark. I thought this was very odd and never say anything like this before. I wanted to report it and see if anyone else saw something similar.

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.
