Sphere over Dallas, OR
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
On our way driving to Dallas on Kings Valley Highway before the S-curves a mile before entering town, my buddy and I noticed a glowing orb 300 ft or so above the tree line. When I first glanced at it I thought it was a star until I realized it was too big and too low to be one. My next thought was a radio tower but the light was glowing yellowish gold and not red and there is no radio tower on top of that hill. As my friend and I drove closer, the light went from 300 feet to to 75 feet or so above the ground in less than a second. That's when we realized this was no ordinary object. The light then instantly went to the ground and stopped moving. The light moved too fast to be a helicopter and was too big to be a firework or flare. After 4 or five seconds, the light moved to the left of the hilltop then shut off. My friend and I drove home later that night and the light was no where to be seen. During daylight you can see everything on that hill top where we spotted the light, and there is no tower or object that emits that color of light or moves that fast.

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.

Went outside to get ready to meditate. Directly above my head moving west to east were about 30 circular orbs or lights. They were all following each other but were very far apart in distance. Not like the starlink. It lasted so long that I was able to go inside and get my two teenage boys, who then, also witnessed. The lights looked as if they were heading up and as each one reached the center part of the sky above us, they disappeared. One by one. They were big and very visible. Approximately 30 or more. They were extremely far apart when I used my binoculars to focus on them. Nobody else in my area seen them so far...and my son could not get a recording. They didn't show up on his phone. I've seen the starlink. This was way different. Shortly after, helicopters began to show up in the area.

I had taken my dog outside to go to the bathroom and I looked up to the sky with it being a clear night and you can see lots of stars up there. I noticed one star in particular was zigzagging left to right and then right to left again at quick speed until it disappeared out of my sight. I think in all it was about 10 seconds or so. I was knocking on the back door to try to get my mom's attention to come out but she missed it.

1 red/yellow flashing light surrounding ORB in the sky. Once We noticed it we focused in more trying to videotape and noticed what seemed to be multiple crafts blinking in different color sequences. Blue/Red x2 and the Yellow/red one looked to be the biggest one and the others were blinking to the large one. The large one spits out another small orb at high speed and it disappeared. Came inside to find somewhere to report to see if anyone else is seeing this. It is not 23:21 and te Large Red/Yellow is still there pulsating.

It was almost sundown. I was doing yard work in the back yard when I looked up. Noticed an odd flame looking orb gliding through the sky headed north. I watched it & took a video of it for almost 2 minutes as it cruised through the sky @ an elevation higher than a drone would be but way less than an aircraft. It was hard to distinguish the shape because it honestly looked like it was glowing bright orange & didn’t keep one specific shape. Very odd. It stayed flying linear until I couldn’t see it anymore but it was definitely the strangest thing I’ve ever seen. I know what I saw. My 2 minute video deleted itself once I went back to look at what I had captured & all I was left with was this short clip of the object. Note the trees to the left of the screen. It will give you an idea of how fast it was moving. Pretty incredible.
