The report, as filed
I witnessed people setting off Chinese lanterns in the Logan/Green St. area of Phillipsburg, N.J., and thought you should know. The lanterns were red and floated North toward route 22. If there are any ufo reports for tonight, it's most likely those lanterns.

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.

The sound filled up a bigger space then a regular aircraft space would have. I tried looking for the airplane that was making the noise. But failed to see a plane. I immediately pulled out my compass and I pointed it in the directions that UFO have flown to. My compass gave me a reading of NW. 309°From where I was .standing. Again my feelings were mixed. I was amazed of how quiet and fast it was . But Yet made me think . I hope that was something that we made . Because how ever or what ever made that is very powerful. And Advance

Driving down backroads after dinner, passing by a cemetery. We both notice a bright light hovering over the cemetery. We drove down the road closest to the cemetery because the roads leading in are gated off at dusk. Anyway, we get pretty close to the lights and it's still hovering above the cemetery. All of a sudden, the altitude increases and slowly starts to fly toward us. We open the sunroof and turn the volume down in the car. The aircraft is making a loud, vibrating noise and has three red lights underneath it, when it flew over us. Within a minute or so, it picked up speed, and we followed it down the road, going at least 40 mph, and it went over a treeline and just disappeared. We both saw the same exact thing. It was a black, triangle aircraft with three red lights underneath, and bright beams all around the sides of it. We saw this aircraft for 3 minutes before it vanished over the treelines.
