Light over Shiloh, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
This morning saw two bright lights in the sky about half a mile to a mile apart from one another. They also didn’t look too high up. The first one I saw was in front of me on Derry Road facing North West, in the same location from my last report. At first, I thought it was a plane until I noticed it wasn’t moving. I didn’t think much of it until I turned onto church road, now facing North, and noticed another one in the sky about a mile down the road, and it wasn’t moving. Fortunately, I was able to get a couple pictures of the second one while sitting at a light. When I turned my focus back to the road, a minute or two later I looked back in the same spot the light was at and it was no longer in the sky. A couple minutes later I got to work, pulled out my radar app, and there wasn’t any commercial planes in the sky in the area. The only ones were one I saw in the sky that was thousands of feet high and one facing south that was going west. While I was at work, I get a message from my friend who he claimed to have seen a bright metallic object in the sky hours after my encounter.

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.
