Cylinder over VENTNOR CITY, NJ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was outside with my wife looking at a rainbow. I took a number of pictures in a row. When I looked at the pictures later that day, I noticed a black spec inside the rainbow. When I enlarged the photo, I clearly saw a cylinder shaped object. My photo clearly shows this when enlarged. I think that if it was a UFO, they were as curious about the rainbow as we all are. How do I email my photo to you?
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #164762). 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.
