Rectangle over Franklinville, NJ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
while driving on RT 55 Northbound in the Elmer-Franklinville area I was able to see a very shinny white rectangle flying low and very fast through the cloud layers. Due to the trees and the flight direction, i lost sight of the object very quickly. But it was flying east to west in a low arc though the clouds, and what caught my eye was the reflection by the sun on its surface which created a flash effect. I managed to witness it for no more than 10 seconds and then it was either gone or within the cloud bank. The clouds where very think and the sun was very bright.

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.

We we saw a bright flash of light way up ahead of us, next thing it was right our vehicle and it was on the side of your vehicle and went behind your vehicle and it disappeared after that. It look like it might have been maybe 50 ft or so above the ground and a half a mile away heading towards us, then the next big flash of light was about maybe 100 ft ahead of us and changed position to the side of are vehicle,send the third bright flashing light was probably 50 ft on the side of our vehicle about 25 to 30 feet high. That's when my son saw a blackout shapes that he could not describe after the light went out, after that it was behind us and then we never saw the light again. I drive that road everyday. There were no trees because it was where a corn field is it didn't make any sound at all what the light was very bright and big. There are new towers around if it was a drone there's no way it could flash a light that free plus I probably would have heard it ! and it was a plain I definitely would have heard it and I can't see a plane flashing a bright light and having no other lights that low and coming out us at that speed. That's all I can really say about it. When it passed us it flashed once more and we didn't see it again. and we don't know what it was or what it could be we talked it over and you can't come up with any explanation. He's very strange and neither of us ever saw anything like it. What was really confusing is that it didn't make any sounds and it was coming out of so fast and then just disappeared after I passed us, this helps you I hope so otherwise that's it that's what we saw
