Cylinder over Boswell, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
A bright distorted ovalish object appeared out of nowhere darted in the sky leaving a very bright line left for maybe 20 yards then disappeared. After three what I thought to be planes were going slowly in all different direction in the area. It dark but clear because you could see the stars in the sky.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #164749). 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.
