Egg over Woodhaven, MI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
A red orb appeared in sky over wooded area while I was on a Hilo. When I stopped to take a better look, I pointed out orb to two other workers nearby. One thought it may have been a drone, but as I started to go inside to grab binoculars, it took off so fast the two other witnesses said it was like a blur. As it sat in the sky motionless it did appear to spin slowly, it was obvious because the sun was directly reflecting off the object. No lights on it at all, was just a very shiny, metallic, wine colored egg. No sound and no other objects were in the area. No wildlife near object at all. this is all i seen.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #113237). 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.
