Oval over Steelton, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Hello, it was my husband who had this sighting but he is reluctant to pursue any avenue of reporting though I told him it is important for tracking purposes and so these phenomenon can be explored for explanations which is why I am reporting it for him. He works on Front Street in Steelton and as he was leaving work saw a very low oval shaped lighted object which he said was so low it only a little higher than where a street light would be so he knew from the shape and distance that it was certainly not an airplane, which we are familiar with seeing in this area. His friend saw it also and took a picture but he said the only thing that showed up was some of the lights on the object. It was not moving fast but by the time he went around the corner to see it longer it was gone.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #168254). 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.
