Circle over Mount Laurel, NJ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was driving on Mt. Laurel road with my teen son and tween daughter heading towards route 38 and we were around the mt laurel library. Suddenly a very bright white light, almost like the Sun, appeared in the sky. It was so bright it lit up the sky orange. I thought it was lightning, since it was raining, but no thunder sound followed. Also lightning is linear zig zag, this was a circle. Then I thought the power lines short circuited due to rain but there were no sparks or smoke. It was over in less than a second. There were other cars on the road too..some slowed down and one car stopped. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

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.

I may be the first to witness a phenomenon such as this. My cameras night vision captured 4 lights circling around my door in perfect sync they converted to 2 lights. They were the size of a quarter and in the shape of a hockey puck. When enlarged it does not appear as being a bug or creatures of any kind.

It was a extremely short alien running around my neighborhood, with big dark black eyes, and an extremely pale blue skin. It was like translucent and you can see some organs as he was running away to the back forest which looked like a light that was stationary in the sky. He was running back to his UFO.

Looking downward while fishing, I noticed a very bright reflection in the water. Being quite familiar with this location, I immediately looked up to where this object was traversing the sky. The object was the size of a green pea at arm's length, and was a brilliant green color. It had a thin yellowish white outer edge. A twinkling star holds the closest resemblance. It traveled from the north northwest to the south southeast. The object traveled downward at a steeper angle than any meteor I have ever seen, and at a slightly slower rate of speed. There was no tail, streak or sound. Conditions were clear with blue skies. The sun had just dipped below the trees on the western side of the pond, but the taller eastern trees were still illuminated with sunlight. It was behind those trees that I lost sight of it.

Sighted from my window, as I was on my computer, I saw 3 lights, moving above the treeline at an extreme speed. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

My friend and I were driving North on the NJ turnpike near mile-marker 34 in south Jersey at about 7:45 in the evening on October 26th, 2014. We saw a glowing green sphere suddenly appear above the treeline. It just popped into existence. It then dropped in a steep angle behind the trees and out of sight. The total length of the sighting was under five seconds. The weather was clear, it was full dark, and we both saw it within a second of each other and almost simultaneously said, “Did you see that?!
