Oval over Laureldale, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was coming home from a day out with my daughter when I noticed three lights in the sky that did not look like an airplane. The object was traveling really fast. When it got right in front of me I realized that although the lights were in a triangular pattern the actual shape of the aircraft was oval. It flew by us in the sky pretty fast and almost seemed to disappear.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #165894). 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.
