Circle over Mystic Island, NJ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
This has become a regular occurrence over the Mystic Island section of Little Egg Harbor Township. Almost every night there are either small circular objects extremely far away moving across the sky or there will be multiple circular objects anywhere between 3-8 objects standing still. There are also on occasion such as last night a bright red object that moves in short bursts sort of like a zig zag motion and is almost always in the same location. Although we are close to Atlantic City Airport and do have military air traffic, these are not ANYTHING of the sort. It would be extremely interesting to have this filmed with a good camera. These objects are so far away and move so quickly I can't catch them with my cell phone. Also, these are not shooting stars as they do not burn out and move in ways planes can't move.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #134706). 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.
