Other over Upper Freehold Township, NJ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I took my dog out and went back to bed. Normal view from room shows planes ready to land with lights - the lights I saw were headlight size compared to normal views. Almost a double headlight look and could not tell where it was going - I went to bed early and know what I saw. The object was not clearly making a path to move forward or backwards - and then, an erratic movement pattern occurred - where the light moved in a weird pattern and then ended up in a different position - almost laser like movement rods. Wanted to wake up my husband and daughter but thought it would be gone by then. watched for a few more minutes and watched changes in location. and then it was gone..... could have been Ft. Dix-McGuire testing, or whatever - but what I witnessed was something I had never seen before and couldn't explain erratic and so fast movement. Was not afraid..........

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.
