Glowing Ovals Rolling Through a Uniontown Thunderstorm
At about 23:00 on 29 June 1948 a group on a porch in Uniontown, Pennsylvania, among them an off-duty police sergeant, watched three luminous ovals roll on their edges across a stormy sky, one so thin that lightning showed through it. The Air Force logged the sighting in its incident check-lists without an evaluation. This is the record of what the people on the porch reported, not a verdict on what rolled through the storm.
