Oval over Longport, NJ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Looking out at sky over Ocean City area from Longport, saw 6 or 7 oval shaped objects just floating in sky. Son said probably drones. But weird to have so many so close together. 2 dropped out of the sky with a streak behind them almost like fireworks. Minutes late 2 disappeared. Then the rest burst like fireworks. Seemed like some sort of firework but never saw them hovering in air for 5+ minutes. And see nowhere where drones can turn into fireworks? Just want an answer.. soo weird!
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #148865). 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.
