Circle over Irvington/Newark border, NJ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Huge circular shaped aircraft seen with flashing blue, green and red lights around its edge emitting noise. It was moving diagonally before hovering above a residential street. Low in the sky enough like a helicopter before moving diagonally over houses and disappearing.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #171777). 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.
