Cigar over Trevose, PA

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

The report, as filed

A few nights ago, while driving, I saw a cigar shaped sparkling object gliding through the sky from left to right, about 200 to 300 feet above me. I had my eyes on it for about 30 seconds. The weirdest thing was that there was no visible object attached to these sparkling dots or lights. I pulled over to quickly capture a video, but my car is extremely dark due to tinted windows and the area itself is filled with hills and trees and lost sight of it at that point. I continued driving and found myself in disbelief as I sat at a red light, questioning what I had just witnessed. About 10 seconds after making a right turn, I spotted the object again half a mile ahead of me, only to see it disappear over the tree line. The best way to describe what I saw is try imaging 3 or 4 large birthday sparkling candles in a row flying across the sky. It makes no sense.

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.
