| Description | In 1965, near Pittsburgh, PA, four witnesses, including the narrator, observed a disc-shaped UAP with eight red lights, resembling the size of the full moon, for approximately 20-30 minutes. The UAP, which was first thought to be a helicopter from a nearby fair, was seen rising slowly and eventually hovered directly above the witnesses before retracing its path. The object displayed no sound, shiny appearance, or advanced capabilities and eventually disappeared behind a wooded ridge. The sighting left the witnesses puzzled but did not garner prolonged attention or discussion. |
