Sphere over Custer, WI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I often watch satellites as we are out in the country. Tonight, I saw what I thought was a satellite travelling north to south directly overhead. From right above me, it reached the top of the trees (maybe 5 degrees above horizon) in about 5 seconds. To summarize, it looked like a satellite would appear but I never saw anything move that fast. It was NOT a meteor.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #109421). 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.
