Light over Rio Grande, NJ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
What first caught my eyes and ears were the lack of blinking colored lighting of any kind and the absolute silence that came off off it. Well,that combined with the speed and maneuverability of this thing. Very impressive to say the least. Where I live I am pretty immune to a lot of Dover AFB comings and goings. I will add that this was very different. Very different indeed.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #143020). 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.
