Light over Snow Shoe, PA

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

8 friends sitting around the camp fire, we have a view of an overlook. We witnessed a big bright orange round light appear out of nowhere to the south of us, it then came across the sky right over top of us. It made no sound. It left no plume or trail. It then continued quickly away in a sharp turn North and we lost sight of it from there. It seemed to have a glow around the object. It seemed like a bright light but there was density to it almost like a bright round craftoving very swiftly and smoothly. It also feels very mentaly weird to us all in that it almost feels like we are supposed to forget about seeing it. We were so in shock we didn't capture much, one member of the group did get a video of it, however it was on snapchat and I don't believe he saved it. The other photos are the orginal photo taken at 10:17 pm the enlarged screenshot and the short clip of the motion photo video mode. The flicker is from an overhead tree. The light in question did not blink. It was a solid object the entire time.

Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #178473). 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.
