Circle over Espanola, NM
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I'm visiting my mother in New Mexico and I walked outside approximately around 5:45 AM to smoke a cigarette, I turned around and looked up at the sky and saw a bright white light in a perfect circle flying kinda. At first, I thought someone's Mylar balloon had gotten away and the rising sun was gleaming off of it causing it to glow. I kept looking at it and it was moving forward, not up like a balloon would. It flew over my roof and I saw no blinking lights nor a chem line that might signal a helicopter or jet or plane and I called into my screen door for my boyfriend to come look and by the time I had looked back not two seconds later, it was very far away and in a different direction but still visible. It stayed hovering in the same spot but still somehow moving further away. We stayed staring at it until it eventually moved behind the clouds and disappeared. It was a white hot light. I can't ever describe it as man made. It took about 15 whole minutes to fully disappear. It made no noise either.

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.

In the hour past eight o'clock on Tuesday night. I had went outside with my wife to smoke a cigarette. Once outside. I looked up and there it was hovering above Walgreens. It had in the middle of the craft a glass dome and on each side of the dome were long bronze colored cylinders. on the bottom. of the cylinders had its own colored light. The left side was blue and right was red! Inside the middle on the glass dome was a brilliant white light. It lifted into the sky and got small were you could just see the lights. That's when i started to record it on my phone.
