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.

Shiloh, PA

For the past couple months I have been seeing strange lights in the sky, that I later confirmed myself were not air planes using a live radar application on my phone called Flightradar24. I live in York, Pennsylvania, specifically Shiloh township, and on the night of December 28, 2022, I went to my girlfriends’ parents’ house to pick my son up, to which he was sleeping. They told me I can let him sleep and go back to get him when he’s awake. I agreed with it and needed to go to the grocery store up the street anyways. As I’m leaving to get in my car, I saw a bright white light in the sky that looked like it was only a few hundred feet up. I thought was a plane until about a minute later, while I’m leaving the neighborhood, I noticed that the light didn’t move. I’m starting to get skeptical about it at this point. So, I turn right from manor road to get on Derry Road, I’m looking at the light and suddenly started moving Northeast. It wasn’t going very fast, but the way it was moving was strange. It was like it was moving perfectly straight, as if it was along an x or y axis, without going up or down. Eventually, I turned onto church road, and when I get to the intersection, the light was directly above me. I looked out my sunroof and I could kind of make out its shape since it wasn’t very high. The shape of it was a cross, like a plane, but the wings didn’t look like one and didn’t have engines of propellers. It just looked like a rectangular cross. Right before the intersection light turned green, the object above me started moving in the opposite direction from where it was going. I was trying to look at the object but had to pay attention to the road as I was turning. About a minute or two later I get to the grocery store, Weis Markets, and the light was now thousands of feet in the sky, going diagonally up towards the moon. It got so high it became a spec. I was fortunate enough to get pictures of it and in the photo there are two lights side by side. I also have a video of a light in the sky blinking behind the clouds, not moving, when I got back home. I am now reporting this case because I just witnessed another event this morning as I’m writing this, which I will be submitting another report. I also believe I witnessed something else before the date of this report, however I was unable to get a picture.
