Sphere over Geyserville, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
White object in the sky looking SSE from Lake Sonoma at an inclination of approx 60 degrees. No stars when the object was first noticed, but the 3/4 moon had already risen in the SW. Object was brighter than the daytime moon, looked to be extremely high in the atmosphere. Was too big to be a star. Object remained stationary as compared to the horizon, while the moon progressed through the sky. The early stars also appeard in the sky near sunset, and the object still remained stationary, even though the moon and stars progressed across the sky. Object disappeared as soon as the sun had set. Used 10x binoculars, but could not make out any distinct markings, other than it appeared to have a round shadow cast from the sun, and potentially a red marking in the upper right
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #119315). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

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.

Large, round, glowing on opposite sides, light in the middle short beam from center, not reaching side. A distance away a reflection beam. Dark in between. Moved east to west slow and silent. Wind blowing different direction. We were looking north when noticed. Looked see through against sky. Took 5 min to move out of site.
