According to authorities, what the crew witnessed remains a mystery. The aircraft with 34 passengers and three crew members landed safely.
Flight 4321, originating from Elmira-Corning Regional Airport, was about 500 feet above the ground in Philadelphia when the incident took place.

Was the unknown rising or falling? If the latter, could be incoming space debris, either natural or manmade. Thanks Free ThinkerNY.

Distress flare from them for sure, apparently the Greys had them surrounded and about ready to finish them off. Too bad they didn’t make it out on time to head for Dulce.

If this were 50+ years ago and over Eastern New Mexico, it would have been me and my best friend sending the expensive bottle rockets off in advance of the F-100's flying by.
Did that a lot.

During WWII an American cruiser spotted Venus and began firing anti aircraft guns at it.
Their radar ever locked on it which I have no idea how that happened.

Based on your very thorough chart I must conclude it was either swamp gas or a weather balloon.

A couple of years ago I started shooting my guns at Venus. I unloaded everything, but nothing happened except a slight move to the left.

"Had a sighting 2 nights ago over Lake Champlain wobbling fast object changing colors chased by fighter jet north to south, watched through binoculars; second time this happened in 5 years."Sounds like a classic case of swamp gas to me.
