Light over Fremont, NJ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was looking in a western (west) position and I looked up to see what appeared to be a very bright star. There was no sound, and it appeared stationary. I took photos of the object but I was moving a lot. Anyway, there were airplanes in the area (they had to see this), but I never seen any airplanes chasing it. If I am allowed, I will attach a pic. Probable sighting of Venus? PD

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.
