Light over Galloway, NJ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
@ 20:45 Walked outside and noticed what I thought were two bright stars next to each other in the sky, right then the one blinked out. I was a little shocked. It then blinked back on just below where it had been. Then it fired up a bit like an Iridium flare, but it wasn’t moving, then blinked out again and moved lower in the sky, blinked on again, then out, then on and back in the original position. I opted to run and get a camera when I got back out I only saw one faint light and a pale blue light dropping from it which I was unable to photograph in time. Then nothing there at all. Stayed a little while but they didn’t come back. Way to high to be drones. I do a lot of sky watching and hope someone else saw these, very cool.

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.

I was out with my boy muding in his Jeep and the clouds were crazy looking so I took a picture for my Snapchat story. The next day I was looking at the picture and noticed there were 2 little white dots in the right corner of the sky close to the tree line next to a water tower. I then noticed another little white circle in the far left corner of the picture. When I zoomed in on that I saw 2 more little white dots far away only visible by zooming in down and to the right of the one on the far left, there is alos another one to the left of the 2 little ones I just mentioned. The bottom one to the right of the water tower seems to have what looks like a visible shawdow on the bottom witch suggest it is really there in the sky. I alos have 2 on video moveing in the sky in snaps o took of us driveling the Jeep. You can clearly see one move over the water tower and one move super fast across the sky. I didn’t see that at first in the video but was able to by going! trew it frame by frame in my camera roll but you can see it in real time once youve seen it frame by frame.

White light at very high altitude moving from south to north at high rate of speed. Thought at first it was an aircraft, no position lights or strobes noticed. Light flared bright for a second, then dimmed back down to the way it was when first sighted. First noticed it overhead and just south of my position, was out of sight towards the north within about 45 seconds. No tail noticed. Sky was very clear and outside house lights were on and could see object clearly. I have seen satellites before moving at this kind of speed, but never this bright and noticeable, especially with outside house lights on. NUFORC Note; We wonder whether the witness may have observed the characteristic "flare," or reflection of sunlight, from an antenna on an "Iridium" satellite. Such reflections can be seen from almost anywhere on the planet, and on almost every night. PD

I was asleep, in a deep sleep, or so I thought, when I heard a loud noise approaching. I dismissed it somewht because there had been th
