Oval over Linden, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was at my River lot on the West Branch of the Susquehanna, and I happened to look to the West, when I saw the object. I would estimate its altitude at 2500 to 3000 feet AGL. The object moved in a straight line, and I watched until it entered clouds. There was no discernable fuselage, wings, or empennage. The object seemed to have a luminescence of it's own. I was able to catch video with my cellphone. There was boat traffic at the time, and other background noise, but no sound from the object. I am a Licensed Private Pilot, and a Military Aviation Buff, and are familiar with many different aircraft, both civilian, and Military, and this object didn't correspond to anything that I am familiar with.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #172817). 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.
