Cone over Kendall Park, NJ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
The sky lit up in the southern horizon and it looked like a airplane/aircraft ( could not see properly) with a very bright cone of light in the rear. The aircraft/airplane was travelling from west to east No airplane noise or engine noise .. the flash of light just disappeared after about 33 seconds. me and my son saw it and my son recorded a video on his phone. We are not sure what it was but would like to know the source. I have the original video with the exact time stamp etc..
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #172017). 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.
