Sphere over Saint Amant, LA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was riding my motorcycle west on Hwy 429 around 7:00 to 7:15 in the evening of July 22, 2014, and to the southwest of my position was a round silver craft, extremely high in the sky and very far. It was not moving to the best of my knowledge. I watched the craft for 10 to 15 seconds as best I could while on a motorcycle, until I lost view of it because of trees. Once I cleared the trees, I could no longer find it in the sky. I have noticed a lot of military helicopters in the area lately but did not see anything with the craft. I ready didn't think anything of the helicopters, until I read the post from Baton Rouge, I am really skeptical when it comes to this type of stuff. But I know what I saw.

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.
