Circle over Aldan, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Unusual bright object in sky above my backyard in Aldan PA located in Delaware County Pennsylvania. This was Tuesday night, November 23, 2021, around 6:00 PM right above and sort of behind the branches of trees in my backyard. I was downstairs in our enclosed porch but then I went out on my side steps because I was waiting for a food order to be delivered when I first saw this sort of huge, bright and very shiny, like floodlights on the bottom of a plane. It was not moving just sort of hovering sort of like a helicopter but made no sound. It stayed in this spot or location for quite a while and never moved. Later that night, I saw it around 9:00 PM from my kitchen window and it was still in the same location.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #165567). 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.
