Sphere over Williamsfield, OH

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

I was sitting in my car (not moving, nor running) in my driveway, facing South on May 9, 2015, at 9:44p.m. The sky was very overcast, but illuminated by the Moon which was not seen yet. A glowing orange orb rose from my Southwest from beyond my trees and arced up in a Northerly direction. It continued North for a short time then began to descend, still arcing and continuing to the North. Then something that looked like a smaller (also orange glowing version of itself) appeared to eject and drop straight downward and disappeared. A few seconds later, the original orb also disappeared. I watched but it did not reappear. The event lasted until 9:48p.m.. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #118960). 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.

Williamsfield, OH

I was sitting in my car, not moving, engine not running, pointing almost due South in my driveway, enjoying the clear sky, and almost full moon at 11:07 p.m., on Friday, May 1, 2015. At this moment, I observed a bright red light rising from my South West, arcing up and to the East, peaking at approximately about 40 feet above the peak of my barn, but obviously well beyond (to the South), maybe 30 or more miles. It then appeared to be brilliant red, as bright as the Moon maybe at about 10 degrees space between the Moon and the “orb” then began its decent in the arc to the South East, then disappeared behind some clouds. About 10 minutes later, it reappeared and retraced its arc almost exactly and disappeared at its starting point behind my trees in the South West. The entire sighting lasted until about 11:50p.m. This “orb” emitted no sound that I could hear, nor do anything but move steadily through the sky. There was no other movement like blinking, changing colors, nor anything going in or out of the object. I saw no wings or pilots or anything that would suggest propulsion of any kind.
