Cigar over columbia, NJ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
a few weeks ago we all were outside and seen the lights in a cigar shape and lasted for a few seconds, our 1st thought was meteor or debris and we decided to install some cameras and point to the sky. on the night of may 3rd it started to rain a little bit and i was getting out of my chair i seen the lights through my window and noticed it was picked up by my camera. i also had someone do a filter on the video and got the following. there are no lights on the outside of our house and we see planes all the time but this was no plane. it was closer than planes fly. also on another matter for about 10 years now i have been having the same dream every 3 to 4 months and it never fails but i remember more each time i wake up. im in a field under an object that beams a blue light and i start running and end up near a farm that has a brown el camino sitting outside an old barn with people there , but before i can reach them i end up back in the field with the same object and blue light, and i wake up!

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.
