Sphere over Nettleton, MS
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My girlfriend and were in the driveway looking at the stars as we often do when a silver colored sphere came out of the east. It looked like a shiny metal marble. The object was low enough for me to see light reflecting on its surface. It was totally silent and moved at a slow speed. When it got almost directly over my position it made a very smooth and very perfect 90° turn to the north. Not at all like the turning of an airplane. Just a sudden, very smooth change of direction. At this point it was heading away from me so I positioned myself and my girlfriend to where we could see it when it was to pass underneath some very high clouds. I had a very distinct feeling that it was aware of being watched. It was at that time that it faded into invisibility. Not a sudden vanishing but rather a two second fade into thin air going from a solid object to see-through to invisible. During the entire incident my girlfriend and I didn't speak a word to one another. When it was over I asked her to tell me what she just saw and her account was exactly the same as mine. That in itself lends credibility to the sighting. @ Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

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.
