Other over Frenchtown, NJ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Me and my friends were sitting outside playing cornhole. A black object flew at a very stable speed and kept the same altitude. It almost looked like a giant black garbage bag floating in the wind but a few hundred feet above the ground. It came in the direction over the Delaware river and moved northeast. It was the most effortless thing I have ever seen move in the air. There sometimes are paramotors in the air and we all are very aware of what a paramotor looks like when it flies. The strangest thing was that we did not see any signs of an engine, wings, chute, or anything. It just seemed like it was drawing a very straight line without having control.

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.

While sitting in my office I happened to see a large triangle shaped craft out the window maybe 3 miles away. When it was flying by the lights dimmed in my house. The craft was emitting a very bright fluorescent like light.

We all saw a flash of light in the sky for 2-3 seconds just standing their. Then the beam shot into the sky leaving a blue trail.
