Sphere over Springfield Township, OH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My wife and I were driving home from work, when we noticed what appeared to be a large electrical storm a short distace away. We decided to get a better look from the parking lot of a nearby Walmart as we needed a few things from the store. I shot the entire experience on my cell phone camera that includes the storm activity and the orb that sailed away from the area towards the storm. I have sat on this footage for almost two years and have shown only a few family members and close friends. Unfortunately the brillance of blue and white hues that illuminated around the sphere were not fully captured on the 720p android camera at night. The object was faintly visible before illuminating, but it's as if someone flipped on a light and then it immediately traveled at what could only be described as miles within two seconds. I did create a video that I uploaded to Youtube but kept Unlisted, and thus has remained so. Originally I was going to show it to a friend who had mentioned the storm which is why I am speaking as if to describe what I was seeing. If you would like to speak to me further please feel free to call as i would like to share the footage with you.

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.
