Flash over Delaware City, DE
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We were driving on a back road when something that looked metallic and sleek moving crossed the road about 20 yards in front of use into the woods. Then about 10 seconds later 2 very bright rapid succession orange flashes lit up the sky. There was no sound but it looked like some type of explosion or of lightening were orange but without a bolt.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #160633). 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.
