Sphere over Rohnert park, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Around 4pm, I was observing and recording all of the unnatural and odd cloud formations in the sky. I saw a white sphere/orb high in the northeast sky that I at first thought might be a balloon. It was not rising and disappearing like a balloon would. It was stationary, yet slowly coasting west and northwest. I have 4 others who witnessed this as well. For the next few hours, I watched this white ball in the sky drift west towards the sun that was beginning to set in the sky. It was intelligently controlled whatever it was. It would stop and remain stationary for a while, then it would start to coast west again. I have video footage of this orb and will send it.

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.
