Sphere over Spring Lake, NJ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My two sisters and I were sitting outside looking out over the ocean on a clear night just after midnight when we saw two lights flying across the sky. They were flying fairly low for an airplane, and they seemed to keep a perfect, unwavering distance apart. The lights were also more orange than airplanes or other aircrafts, almost like flying orange orbs, but it was a bit too dark and too distant to observe their exact shape. They saw them for about 15-20 seconds, and we actually talked about what were seeing, then, all at once, they seemed to turn away and disappear entirely. This was even more odd because it was a relatively clear night, so it's not like they were hidden behind a dark cloud, but we didn't see anything else in the air for the next 15 minutes or so.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #119758). 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.
