Description | The witness observed a half-disc of light, brighter than the moon and yellow in color, at the farthest edge of a field from their bedroom window in Indiana, Pennsylvania. The sighting lasted for about an hour during which the light remained stationary and people were seen running back and forth in front of it. The witness initially thought it was a sunrise but later realized it was not. A neighbor’s mention of a UFO incident a few days later made the witness connect both incidents in retrospect. |

Witness Feelings | I was too young to know what I was seeing at the time |
Witness Assessment | Apparently, some of the neighbors saw it and said they were frightened by it, but as far as the witness knows, they were all fine. |
Additional Info | People tell the witness that this sounds like it must have been “the Kecksburg incident,” but it was in the wrong year. |
