Light over Columbia, NJ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was at truck stop just off I-80 in New Jersey. I woke up around 2:30 ish in the morning and went to use the bathroom in the truck stop. As I work for my truck to the bathrooms I noticed a band of light in the sky appearing to hover. I could fully see the band. If appear to hover for about 2 seconds and then move off in what exact direction I don't know at an incredible speed.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #149412). 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.
