Circle over Manchester, NJ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was standing in my driveway facing western sky when this very bright dark orange to red object appeared from the north traveling south . Object looked large and it was flying fairly low at a fast speed. It was very strange looking maybe a fireball but it was controlled. It traveled for about 5 to 10 min then disappeared into the clouds in the south western direction. I noticed it got very quiet no noises , no crickets , frogs or birds sounding.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #178798). 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.

A luminous circular object, very bright, can dim out, very fast, very orthodox in the way it can maneuver. Definately, not of this earth. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
