Circle over Turnersville, NJ, NJ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was outside in my yard taking pictures of the night sky. I moved the tripod to get a shot of Jupiter (in image) and I noticed two very bright lights that looked like very bright stars. However they did not belong thee and were not there a few seconds before when I originally moved the tripod toward Jupiter. As I was taking the picture on my Samsung Galaxy night mode 14 second exposure, the two lights took off and traveled equidistantly up into the sky and disappeared within seconds. I got a bit of the light trail in the picture, but not much. There is also an airplane light trail on a plane on approach to PHL at the bottom of the pic. I just really wonder what those 2 bright lights that shot away quickly are.

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.
