Sphere over Kerby, OR
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We were outside giving my child a ride on my dads tractor. Afterwards, we stood and were talking, when i became fixed on a ball of light moving in the sky behind him. At first i thought it was a helicopter's headlights, but it was silent. We all were observing it as it followed a straight path, and then moved swiftly (not speeding, but moving faster than a hellicopter) in the opposite direction from us. I expected My dad to explain what we saw, but he couldn't. There was no sound, and it was flying low. As i observed it moving, I almost glimpsed a dark orb like object.

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.
