Unknown over Long Beach Island (North Beach), NJ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
There were no sound heard from the object, the object seemed to be moving slower than a jet or prop aircraft. The flight path was not as high as a jetliner. There was nearly a full moon but no identifiable shape was discernable. The time frame was 1:00- 2:00 am. There were no other color lights noted other than white.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #120830). 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.
