Sphere over Tampa Vay viewing from west, FL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was walking towards my home east direction and talking on the phone when a bright green orb appeared out of nowhere. It was moving straight down but due to line of site may have been moving down and directly away from me. It appeared in size aboiut I/3 size of a full moon. It had no trail it left no debris and made no sound. It did not vary in brightness. it could not have been space debris or shooting star as no trail no dbris as stated.. I am not into this at all but after what I just saw I firmly believe this thing was not a natural object. that's it anyone else see this?

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.
