Sphere over Hubbard Lake, MI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Appeared to be a stationary single bright white light but it began to get brighter and green streaks could be observed around it. I saw other flashing aircraft lights in the area but they appeared to be normal airplanes so I thought maybe it was a flare but there is no way it was. It was west of where I was located. I then had my girlfriend observe it and with out telling her specifics she stated the same thing as I had thought. It's seriously the weirdest thing I have ever observed in the sky and I do a lot of star gazing.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #118488). 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.
