PILOT ONLY SAW SOMETHING COME IN FROM THE LEFT SIDE. COWLING STARTED VIBRATING, ENGINE RUNNING GOOD (NO ISSUES). DIVERTED TO ROA, DECLARED THE EMERGENCY, LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT AT ROA.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
