Light over Bosque Farms, NM
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
On October 30, 2023 at 6:51 PM, I arrived home and as I got out of my car I noticed a strange light in the sky above my house towards the west. It was rapidly getting dark and this steady glowing light that was slowly moving to the southeast was obscured by a kind of fog even though it was a completely clear night. There was no sound at all emanating from this object, there were no other lights and no blinking lights like a plane. I got my wife from the house, I took 1 picture and thought I started a video but actually didn’t. Ugg. We watched it drift over us and towards the southeast and it was hard to tell how high it was with this weird fog around it, 2000 to 5000 ft high maybe. At one point a jet flew between us and this object and the contrast of a completely in focus commercial jet and this weird silent foggy light. Right at the end as it was about to go out of sight we both witnessed a 360 degree, what I would call a pressure wave, emanate outward from this object and a fast pace and dissolve. That pressure wave was the absolute most unreal thing I have ever seen. It then continued out of site to the southeast over the Manzano mountains. This was no balloon, it's not the moon I can prove that, it's no air vehicle that I have ever seen. I'm 68. And I did not really believe. That has absolutely changed.

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.
