Light over Deptford, NJ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
While driving on our street my husband and I saw a light which looked like a meteor which was falling straight down. The light stopped half way down for a second, then shot back up in the sky very fast. I thought my eyes were playing tricks until my husband said "what was that?", and described the same thing I saw.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #129803). 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.

Me and my wife were driving through Deptford, NJ, heading northbound towards Philadelphia on highway 42 north when we both noticed a ultra bright light up in the sky (due north) that appeared to be the shape of a rough diamond, it also was like burning or shining a really bright light in colors from yellow to pink. I couldn't tell if it was moving or still because of the burning and shining I spoke of earlier. The light reminded me of how sunlight is sometimes reflected in the windows of skyscrapers, but this light was very very brighter then that, there are no skyscrapers in that direction we saw the shape/light.

I was walking to my car at B & N in Deptford around 10 am. I noticed a black V-shaped object approaching somewhat below the clouds. It was either spinning or appeared to be shifting/dipping side to side. I stood at my vehicle and kept looking up at the object. I didn't know if it could be a drone? It was pretty high up. But the blackness of object was very dark/deep toned. I didn't hear any noise emitting from the object. I wasn't sure if it was something that fell off of an aircraft by the way it was not only propelling forward but spinning or dipping side to side. I climbed into my vehicle not sure if it was some type of debris falling. I then tried to locate it again by looking up through the car windshield, but couldn't visually locate object again.
