Unknown over Blackwood, NJ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
It started with one unknown sizable bright object flying in circles through the clouds with wings that flapped like a bird. However, the path was not consistent as the formation of the circles changed. After 3-4 minutes as second joined in and the two chased one another in play. Definitely not a light show as far as I could tell as I've never seen anything like it before. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

For a dated, located U.S. sighting, FAA radar data and ATC communications are the records most likely to exist. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.

I was driving down the road and looked up and saw a super bright red light in the sky. It looked close and was very big. It looked like it was pulsing like the sun does. I pulled over to safely watch it, and 2 more cars pulled over to watch it. We looked at it for about 5 minutes before it just dimmed out completely.

The "UFO" was at first a little orange quarter moon crest shape. At first I thought it was the moon but, Then started to turn into an odd round shape. I was about 80-100 yards away and it was late at night. I was in a well open area of a park. The orange round thing turned to a almost blood red color. It was just floating in the air maybe about 120 feet from the ground. It staid still but looked like a red blob changing shape but staid relatively round. I took a picture knowing my wife or anyone for that matter wouldn't really believe me. At that point it had bin there for 8-9 minutes, and I started to walk closer to see what this thing was. As I got to around 50 yards from it it started to get smaller witch I thought was odd because I was closer now. I stoped and saw it get smaller and smaller until it was a little red dot and then just disappeared. It didn't fly up into the sky and it didn't look like it was moving in any direction it just got sma! ller until there was nothing left. I walk over to where I thought it was and there was no sign of anything, no people, nothing strange, no animals or bugs just quiet. I called my wife as I walked home and told her what I saw she said it was probably a drone, I told her that it definitely was not a drone and once she saw the picture she agreed it was no drone.

Hi I'm from New Jersey and my friend and I were at the park tonight next to Camden County College in Blackwood, NJ, at around 10:30pm and we witness what we believe to be a UFO. As we were walking I noticed this huge glowing orange ball coming from behind the trees, and I said to my friend "do you see that" at first I thought it was a REALLY REALLY big floating lantern until it floated over out in front of us and we saw fire coming from it, I mean it was so close to us that we could see the flames as it floated, it was like a HUGE orange glowing ball with fire coming from it. Then it just stopped in mid air for about 4 or 5 seconds like it was staring back at us, then it proceeded to float. What was crazy is that it was so close we could actually see the flames on it but there was no heat coming down on us, and as close as it seemed I thought we should have felt some heat, there was no sound nor was it smoke or a smoke trail. We were so in aww on top of being scared of what we were seeing that we didn't record it and then we when did start recording it was gone! Never in my life would I have thought I would have witness seeing a UFO! It was 1 other person in the park tonight and I can't help but wonder if he seen it or if anyone that wasn't it the park seen it from a distance!! All I know is what we saw was truly unexplainable!

7 times the sky lighted up in flashes of blue. I first noticed it outside my window, then, terrified, I went to my window and saw it appear then disappear. I am truly scared. I went and got my bf to come watch with me. He thought I was nutz, until he saw it too! It wasn't the first time I saw a ufo. I seen a triangle red lighted one before about a year ago. But this particular one put fear in my heart. I don't think I'll be sleeping tonite. In the last flash I saw it change from blue to purple. It was very big in size and appeared to be very close. It was right over the lake above the trees. We assume that the sighting occurred on June 1st, not May 1st, as indicated by the source of the report.

Hovered for 15 minutes, sitting still. Then moved. Hard to tell how far, but still in view. Very loud engines like turbines howling. Moved again. Still in view. I watched for an hour and then it vanished. Red and white flashing lights. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
