Oval over Upper Ssaddle River, NJ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
On my deck trying to show my 3 year old a bat flying over the house, sun was down it was nearly dark. Scouring the bat was why I continued to look up when from the corner of my eye a craft not more than 500 ft appeared and quickly went behind the tree line. No lights, silent, only 1, gray oval football shape.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #148719). 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.
