Sphere over Lamar, CO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
The light traveled up and to the right for a few minutes in a bouncing motion. Then it slowly descended to the other side of the small hill behind our home. We have anew airport 1 mile from our home and frequently see Army planeso and Blackhawk choppers flying overhead. The aircrafts that came from the airport surrounded the light and just stayed over it.. They are still there though the light descended out of sight 10 minutes ago. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #117223). 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.
