Sphere over Lavalette, NJ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
On September 17, 2015, my friend and I were sitting on the deck in front of our beach-house in Lavalette, NJ. At approximately 8:00 pm EST, (though may have been a little later) and looking to the right out over the ocean, not so far but not near the beach either, we saw six bright orange orbs which appeared attached. We stared at the object, which remained in place, wondering out loud what it could be, until it disappeared within ten seconds. It disappeared as quickly as it arrived.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #122371). 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.
