Light over Ocean city, NJ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Watching fireworks on the Ocean City, NJ beach around 9pm. As fireworks started there was a small bright light traveling south. I thought was a shooting star. Then a minute later another one. Then another, and another. All traveling south. The same distance between each one. Perfectly in the same line of travel. I pointed it out to my family, which they saw as well. Including my 12 & 10 year olds saw them. My husband said they could be satellites? Was fascinating to watch. No blinking to be an airplane, and traveling fast.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #164035). 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.
