Flash over Middletown, DE
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Bright red light traveling at a very high rate speed, seen over amazon in middle traveling south down 301. The red light was leaving trails because my eyes could not keep up with its speed, I have never seen anything travel this fast on this earth! It was dark out and the craft or whatever it is had no white head light for seeing, only a bright red light that seen to be very close because it appeared to be large in size. It lasted for a very short duration and made no sound, either this light was leaving trails behind it or it had smaller red light traveling with it I'm not sure, but I can tell you, it shook me up a bit when I seen it.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #111783). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
Ask for the records
What would the paper say?
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.

We were outside and I looked in the sky. It was a Bright Orange Triangle gliding pass the house at the level of a plane landing in Summit Bridge aviation. My family looked up, my daughter took a picture with a time stamp. It flew pass the house at the same level then shot up straight in the air and Disappeared. It's not the first UFO I have seen but Never that Bright.

It's still currently out back of our house visible from our bedroom window. It has not moved again for a good 30 minutes. I have used my compass on my phone to get the exact location as to where it is.
