Sphere over Lincoln Park, NJ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Second sighting -Two days later I was also out in the early morning and out of nowhere a brilliant white orb is streaking across the sky, this time towards me and it made a noise like a booster rocket and had a tail. It went right over the townhouse next to mine and once it went over the roof I was waiting to hear a crash but there was nothing. I saw the Channel 4 news cast yesterday, 5/9/17, about the sightings in Suffolk County and the images that were shown was exactly what I saw. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. 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.
