Sphere over Petersburg, KY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was taking a picture of the fog over the water. The sky around was clear and bright blue. Nothing but pure blue sky was visible however, when I looked at the picture there was a huge glowing bright orb like object. My husband and I both looked and saw nothing before and after taking the shot. Just clear blue sky. I have no idea what this could be.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #115076). 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.
