Circle over Pompton Plains, NJ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I saw a round orange fireball silently glide across the sky and then disappear. Then about 1 minute later a second round orange fireball following the same path as the first one silently glide across the sky. The second one disappeared into a cloud. Neither object blinked or flashed but just stayed solid in color. The sky was dark, but planes were flying at a much higher level in the sky, but not close.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #114185). 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.

2 very slow moving, orange flickering light sources. It looked like a flame and was flying slightly lower than an air craft. One drifted in a straight line, then appeared to die out. Shortly after, another followed in the exact path and also seemed to die out in the distance. It reminded me of flying lanterns, but the movement was too perfect of a pattern to be a coincidence. Both were silent. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
