Sphere over Travelers Rest, SC
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
The first week of May, 2015, a moon sized orange orb, clear to see, but with a fuzzy aspect to it, moved from S to N over the upstate South Carolina Hills. Out of a large picture window I look W toward Travelers Rest, SC, toward the western most NC state line, or North Georgia. I only see 3 to 7 mountains, depending on the weather. It took 15 to 20 minutes to traverse this line of sight. I was mesmerized as if this were perfectly normal, and did not take a picture. Witness indicates that the date of the event 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.

5 orange lights floating in the east. They would move very quickly around each other in no certain pattern. Twice we saw beams come from them. Then they just blinked out one by one. I tried to video them but got very little good shots on my cheap phone. Two witnesses, ages 48 and 52.
