Sphere over Dade City, FL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed

Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center. 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.

Ufo in North sky. Altitude above clouds and aircraft. Hovering, moved southeast then back toward due north. Shape has changed from sphere to oval continuously. As if its slightly rotating. Though it was a weather ballon but has been seen continuously for 6 + hours. Contacted county sheriff who confirmed the sighting and has not identified it.

Seen a blinking light moving extremely fast across the sky. Made several sharp turns And then was quickly out of viewing range. It was quiet and much faster than a plane or jet. I am current commercial pilot and ex Air Force Pilot.

At approximately 10 pm, 5/27/18, my wife and I departed a relative’s residence in San Antonio, FL, to return to our home 6 miles to the east in Dade City, FL. As I stepped out I noticed what I thought was a very bright star, brighter than any other stars in the night sky. I commented how bright it was to my wife and two relatives. We began to question if the object was a star, and noted that the object was moving very slowly. One of the relatives got their binoculars and each of us used them in an effort to identify the object. Each of us said the object appeared to have some type of very bright white lights surrounding its entire surface, with my wife’s sister describing the lights as being arranged in a diamond pattern. We continued watching the object for about 5 minutes and then my wife and I headed home. Upon arriving home 15-20 minutes later, I looked toward the west and spotted the object. It was moving very slowly toward the north, at about 40-50 degrees above the horizon. I attempted to photograph the object using a telephoto lens, however, without the aid of a tripod the photograph is not sharp, and is not a good representation of what 4 of us observed. I watched the object until it disappeared beyond the horizon.
