Circle over Morris Plains, NJ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I saw a singular unidentified flying object hovering far up in the sky. It’s suddenly faded away as if it disappeared. I kept trying to look around to find it, and when I looked up and saw an airplane with a vapor trail I noticed that the object had reappeared and was following the airplane. There is a second object in the lower left area of the screen that can be seen fading away near the end of the clip. The short eight second video shows me filming the plane again briefly after and the object completely disappeared by then.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #171786). 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.
