Sphere over Westminster 104th, CO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Both eventually disappeared from view behind trees and houses. The helicopter was large and long and the orb was about 1/4 the size of the helicopter. I also saw two large cigar-shaped images in the same area, about the same time of night, two or three nights previous to this event. Will report this separately. Observer: Woman, retired business owner, out walking.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #111804). 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.
