Unknown over Kenvil, NJ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Object far off in sky traveling very fast suddenly changed direction to straight up for 2-3 seconds then back to horizontal. Change of direction occurred very suddenly and at a 90° angle. Object was too far away to see shape. Dark in color possibly black. I was looking to the east and the object was traveling south. There were other passenger planes in the sky as well and the object was easily traveling 4-5 times as fast.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #124313). 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.
