Sphere over Mentor on the Lake, OH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Around 10pm, I saw two gold/red/orange object flying at about 30 degrees high over Lake Erie. The were moving from East to West. I called my wife outside and she immediately went back inside after seeing the objects. They flew behind a tree and by the time I ran to my front yard to get a better look around the tree, they were gone. About 5 minutes later I saw another identical object taking the same course. I went inside to get my cell phone to try to capture a video and when I can back outside the craft was gone.

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.
