Oval over Evans City, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I went to warm up my car. I saw a cylindrical object brightening and dimming in the sky. I thought it was a helicopter, but heard no noise. After it hovered for approximately 5 minutes, I went and got my phone. I recorded 7 minutes the best I could, and tried zooming. Not a very good video. I went in and woke up my wife. She watched it for 10 more minutes, while I got ready for work. The total time it was where I saw it was about 25 minutes, and it never moved. The screenshots were taken from video. The video is too large to upload. I elected to have an investigator contact me only if they want the video or have any questions.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #166448). 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.
