Disk over Barrington, NJ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was waiting for the bus and saw this strange silver, shimmering disk with blue lights around it. I was baffled and frightened. I am confident it was not a plane. I know what I saw, and it was not any type of plane. It moved in an unnatural way hovering and then shot straight up at an astounding speed. However after it left, I realized I missed my bus, and I was ten minutes late for school. And have been having nightmares of waking up at night and seeing a strange beings at the foot of my bed. This is not a hoax so please don't think it is I'm not making any of this up.

The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.
