Sphere over Hugo, MN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Specific location from which the event was observed: Latitude 45.152246 Longitude -92.930474 While driving north on the ~13600 block of Isleton Avenue, I noticed 3 bright orange/yellow orbs suspended along the northern treeline. As I and the motorist behind me both pulled over to witness the event, another 4 orbs appeared, and the orbs began to move around each other in the form of a spiral, or double helix. One orb remained stationary during this time. We observed the event for about 5 minutes after pulling over. All of the orbs faded away into the night sky, while the stationary object stayed for another 5 minutes. This stationary object then vanished from sight quite rapidly. I filmed the event via cellphone from my car during the initial 30 seconds of the sighting, then for another minute while I watched with the other motorist. I have the two short videos in .mp4 format if you would like them. We spoke with the witness, and he seemed to us to be sincere and sober-minded. We will request a copy of the video. 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.

Two red, glowing spheres were traveling in a manner that defied the laws of gravity and left the atmosphere with unexplainable speed.
