As reported

Formation over South Bethany Beach, DE

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

RIGHT AFTER MY 11-YR.-OLD SON AND I WITNESSED UP CLOSE A SILENT V-SHAPED UFO GO OVER OUR HEADS AND OUT OVER THE OCEAN, WE WITNESSED SOMETHING DIFFERENT. WE WERE OUTSIDE THE RENTAL VACATION HOME AT 1:20 IN THE MORNING (STILL EXCITED AND IN AWE ABOUT THE FIRST SIGHTING) I WANTED HIM TO GET A CHANCE TO POSSIBLY VIEW A SHOOTING STAR OF WHICH I HAD SEEN QUITE A FEW AGAINST THE STARRY, MOON-LESS SKY AT THE SHORE. I POINTED OUT A HIGH FLYING LARGE JET APPROACHING FROM THE SOUTH. AT THE SAME TIME...A SMALL JET (SO I THOUGHT)WAS APPROACHING FROM THE SOUTHWEST. THEY WERE AT DIFFERENT ALTITUDES. WHEN THE SMALLER CRAFT CAME CLOSE ENOUGH (FROM MY VANTAGE POINT) TO INTERSECT PATHS WITH THE LARGER PLANE...ALL OF A SUDDEN ...4 MORE CRAFT APPEARED OUT OF NOWHERE.ONE POSITIONED ITSELF IN FRONT OF THE PLANE AND THE OTHER 3 SPACED BEHIND IT...WITH THE ORIGINAL SMALL CRAFT (WHICH I THOUGHT WAS A SMALL JET) TRAILING OFF FURTHER BEHIND. I WATCHED THEM CONTINUE ON THEIR PATH FOR ABOUT 5 MORE MINUTES COINCIDENTALLY ON THE SAME PATH OVER THE OCEAN AS THE V SHAPED UFO (FORMATION OF LIGHTS) THAT WE HAD WITNESSED 20 MINUTES EARLIER.

Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #112934). 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.
