Sphere over Coeur D'Alene, ID
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My older son and I were driving home after a late dinner in Hayden. Hovering over Canfield Mtn, was a fairly large orange orb. We saw a second large orange orb about halfway up Canfield Mtn on the western side facing Dalton Gardens/Canfield Middle School. In the neighborhood just south of Canfield Middle school, there was a group of boys in their driveway watching it too. The orange orb on the mountain began to rise, I could then see multicolored lights on both Objects as they rose and disppeared. They were vey close, especially the one on the mountain, 500-800 ft away, maybe closer.

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.
