Sphere over Hull, MA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My wife and I parked in a lot by the ocean in hull we spotted an orange light the size of a planes landing light it was moving slow and seemed to be low in the air. As we watched, it stopped over the water, and then slowly changed direction slightly, stopped and remained motionless for a few seconds, then got smaller and smaller, then suddenly shrunk and disappeared. A little over an hour later, we witnessed the same thing it was in the same airspace as we saw the same stars and it was a cloudless sky and lit by an almost full moon. This object as it disappeared then flashed a quick flash of orange light and was gone. This object made no sound and was not a plane. I was in the Air Force for 8 years I know an aircraft.

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.

A friend and I were about to go for a run when I told her to look up at what first looked like a satellite. We quickly noticed it was moving too quick to be a satellite. It was a light going in a straight line and then it disappeared up into the sky. We then noticed another in the same path, they continued and clouds moved and we could actually see the light going upward in the sky. We lost count of how many did this but it was at least 15-20 things going in the same line about the same amount of distance apart and launching up around the same area . Pretty crazy!
