As reported

Light over I can’t remember the city name, we were driving through, NJ

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

My son (16) and I (48 at the time) were leaving a lacrosse game and heading home to NY. We were talking about where we should stop for dinner. We were stopped at an intersection in a rural area. There was a corn field nearby. When we noticed ahead of us, up in the sky were three large round lights. They were all the same size, perfect circles, one at the top in the center of the two below it, like a triangular formation. There was no sound, no wind changes coming from them. They were perfectly still. We looked at them then looked at each other and said “what are those?” We couldn’t believe what we were seeing. How were they suspended up there? We kept repeating over and over “what are they? How are they on the sky like that?” I can’t tell you why we didn’t think of taking a picture…We had a long day and a long drive ahead of us so we shrugged our shoulders and drove away.

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.
