A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My son reported that for a three seconds he witnessed a bright light that was above the clouds move in an arc curve. It disappeared as suddenly as it came. No other lights were discernable. He has seen satellites overhead, but he says this was closer then a satellite but farther then an airplane.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #151915). 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.

Driving home at a high point in town, Hillside Avenue, and saw an aircraft flying several yards over a 2 story house on the right side of the road. I saw it fly very slowly from my right, cross over the road, and fly to the left and onward, in the direction of East toward downtown and Sayreville. It was smoothly flying no more than 25 MPH very low to the ground. I saw a slight shadow of the outline of the aircraft and it appeared to be disk shaped with red, white, and blue (do not remember the order of the colors) lights stacked on top of each other at each end of the aircraft that did NOT blink at all, unlike every other aircraft I have seen in the sky. It was definitely not a plane nor helicopter. It was unlike anything I have ever seen before.
