DescriptionThe 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.
