Light over Flemington, NJ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
It was a clear night. My son and I saw a red light that was not moving very fast and seemed to stop and hover, then go back in the other direction and stop and hover again. I thought it was very strange and maybe a helicopter because I had no other explanation. The red light did not blink like an aircraft nor did it move like any aircraft I had ever seen. It continued to hover in 1 spot and we decided to go in our home dismissing it as an aircraft we had never seen.

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.

We saw a single object around 11:45 pm on Saturday, July 30, 2022 and it was in the same place or nearby until we went to bed at 1:30 am. It had 2 bright lights and several smaller colored lights that seem to change brightness on its diamond shape (4 sided) surface. It moved slightly, in a rather jerky way, but stayed in the same general area. It appeared as one blurry light when viewed through the binoculars or phone camera. A video we shot on the phone shows it rotating and looking somewhat like a fireball with spikes, but that was not the appearance at all to the naked eye, which showed the 2 main lights and some smaller lights, as described above. This same object was visible again last night, Aug.2, 2022. It was in the same general direction, but lower in the sky. All other appearance details are the same as Saturday. The photo and video attached were taken last night.

Moving white light in sky with naked eye looks like a extremely fast satellite bigger than usual. In binoculars shaped like a M on top and two straight wings on side. Resembled stealth bomber. No sound at all extremely fast. No lights at all, no trail. Flew out of site over city.
