Circle over Whiting, NJ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
a green/yellow circle bright light fell straight out of the sky and it was lite for 7 seconds then color faded slowly and went off by 10seconds...route 539 going from Whiting my (sic. NY??) to Barnegat, NJ...it was moving fast and was a larger object not ur typical shooting star it was very weird. We suspect that the sighting occurred at night, and we have changed the time above, to reflect that fact. The source of the report elects to remain totally anonymous, so we are unable to confirm the time. PD

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.
