Cylinder over On route 22 heading towards Blairsville. Near Johnstown exit, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We were driving on Route 22 towards Blairsville PA. It was somewhere between 7:30 and 7:50 PM. It was a long cylinder shaped object that had many small golden lights. They looked like the small golden sparkles that come out of a firework except they didn't sparkle. It moved to our left for about 30 seconds then faded out. My wife and I both saw it and she noted the Johnstown exit. We have driven this before at night and never saw this. It was impossible to tell how high it was or how big it was. There was no reference. It was fairly high in the sky and not close to the ground at all. I just want this reported so someone knows.

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.
