Cigar over Wexford, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was out with my 13 inch dobsonian. It wasn't quite dark and I was looking for a star to adjust my scope on. I swung my scope to what I thought was a star but there were several objects. Most were pin points of light but one was cigar shapped. Well believe it or not I just heard and saw a report that the chinese ship fell to earth tonight and was seen. So thats what I think I saw. On the picture I submitted the booster is visible. The still doesn't do it justice. All the objects were moving but the cigar shapped object was spinning.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #170831). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

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.

2 adults and 1 child saw dark orange/reddish round "fireball" traveling across sky, moving from South to North above McKnight Rd. at approximately 11:30 pm. No sound heard. Did not flash or anything like that. It maintained a steady speed and even/equal brightness for around 2 minutes, then light dimmed (briefly) and then returned to original level of brightness, disappeared quickly traveling North. Seemed to have smokey ring around it. I haven't seen anything like it before. Very interesting. Tried to record a video clip but object wouldn't show up on video; however a still image was taken; and is somewhat visible. Would love to know what we saw! Comet? Meteor? UFO?
