Flash over Blue Star Memorial Highway, NJ

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

I saw two flying objects, appearing as flashes every couple of seconds. I was heading home with my mother and just had gotten on the road. I was up and awake and looked ahead only to see flashing lights. When I picked my phone up to record the phenomenon, it does, although it was at 78% approximately. There was a dark grey/bluish light surrounding the object. It wasn't stable in the least bit and was quite frightening. My car slowed down although my speedometer reported I was pushing 55 mph. My mother was tired and wasn't paying attention to the road but I had gotten 12+ hours of sleep so I know I couldn't have been mistaken. I recall briefly looking at the dashboard to check what time it was only to realize I'd lost nearly 7 minutes. It's not much, but it was terrifying. My family says I see things no one else does, so maybe it was a trick of the light, but I swear I know what I saw.

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.
