The report, as filed
At roughly 9 to 10 pm, my wife and I observed a glowing red/orange light slowly hovering from north to south, skirting the beach on lbi. At first I thought it may be some sort of drone, but it was just silently hovering slowly down the beach at probably around I would say 5 miles an hour as it got closer I realized that it couldn't be controlled by someone and it come too far to still be skirting the coast as it got closer to us it's seemed stop and then moved quickly whit sort of a flash out into the ocean and disappeared

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.
