Disk over Nixon, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My husband and I were driving our family home from dinner at our parents. My husband exclaimed, “look at that!” I looked to where he was pointing and saw a red trail of light zoom off and disappear. It was a very clear night—you could see all the stars. It did not move like an airplane— it did a circular “swoop” before it disappeared. If it was a plane we would have seen it continue to travel off into the distance. My husband said when he initially saw it it was a green lit up object (half circle shape) that very quickly dropped straight down, and then jolted up (to make a “J” shape, before it zoomed off. When I saw it zoom off, it was red—-when he saw it, it was green. I have never seen anything like it. This was my husands second UFO sighting— he saw another years ago and it was similar.

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.
