Oval over Glenwood, NJ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was out taking pictures of the eclipse today and was just snapping away trying to get a decent photo. I did not have glasses so I was just pointing my pixel phone up at the sky with the camera set in selfie mode. When I went into the house to look at them, and delete the horrible ones (which there were many), I noticed a dark spot in one of them. I zoomed in and saw something that I don’t know what it is. It certainly doesn’t look like an airplane. Perhaps you can look at see what you might think it is. I will send the original photo and a zoomed in version via email. This was taken at 2:39pm today.

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.
