Light over Hockessin, DE
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Alright, I can't really explain it, but I can do my best. I went out to walk my dog and I look at my phone to change the song and set it to some movie OST. Then, as I look up in the sky a large blue beam of light passes over me, this beam as it passed over me, I saw how it was flying very low like at the altitude a plane gets up to a few minutes after taking off. After I saw the beam of light blitz over me, I ran back up my street and to my house paranoid and scared half straight. I was not able to get any photos due to the duration of the sighting, which may be a problem, but can't be fixed due to this.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #136481). 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.
