Sphere over Union, OH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Each one continued to travel in a straight line, then disappeared, each one, right after the other, at the same point in the sky. After the five in a line disappeared another appeared on the horizon. All orbs were moving from the north-western part of the sky. Again, another orb appeared. There were nine total. Each one proceeded to the same point in the sky and then suddenly winked out and were gone. They were not planes and they made absolutely no noise at all.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #111098). 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.
