Oval over Green Brook, NJ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Three planes in sky with vapor trails, then oval white orb appeared to follow one of the planes going west. The UFO followed the one plane above it. Then it moved behind the plane. It had no vapor trail. The UFO moved from above to below plane them went behind it and then followed it as it moved above and below it, then the UFO moved above it, then to the right front of plane it was slightly smaller the plane in size. I thought that there would be a collision because it moved to the front of the plane (VERY CLOSE) then it moved up and disappeared west bound. There must have been people in the plane or pilots must have seen it. The sky was clear and blue. The UFO stood out very clear from my location. It whole thing was about 8 minutes. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

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.
