Light over Kingwood, NJ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
They seemed stationary relative to the horizon and the aircraft that passed through my field of observation. They were to the north of the moon and slightly lower in sky. Too bright to be stars, I got my phone and opened Sky Map app to find out what planets were aligned like they were and, when I looked up again, they had vanished.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #173822). 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.
