Unspecified over Cape May Wildwood Crest, NJ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We saw what looked like large swarm of bright lights in multi colors, red, blue yellow and green...moving through night sky like a flock of birds for several minutes while we were driving north on Parkway about 10:30 pm. Other cars saw it and pulled over, too. The lights were to the east of GSParkway. We the saw what looked like a large white orb shoot across the sky toward the lights. The lights eventually moved farther away toward the ocean. I was able to get pictures and a video with my phone. The lights were larger points of light than stars, and very colorful.

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.
