Sphere over Tarawa Terrace, NC

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

The report, as filed

My husband and I were taking a walk at night like we usually do. We then notice what we thought at first was a shooting star, but the extreme bright greenish coloring and size caught our eye. The object stopped and hovered over Camp Lejuine area. It then moved slowly through the sky downward (away from base) at the second my husband pointed to it and said, "Look at that." We then stopped and watched it until it disappeared, it moved slowly down to the treeline, but before it was close to the line where it would actually be out of our sight, it just vanished. It moved with a diagonal downward movement and wasnt "falling" like spring stars do... it looked controlled in its movements.

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.

Tarawa Terrace, NC

At first, it was thought to be a shooting star except it was large as it passed over the roof tops. Object came to a stop above Camp Lejeune area near the airstation. It had an orange glow and looked circular through binoculars. It slowly sank under the tree line and roughly 4 helicopters circled it until out of sight. Observers are military spouses, 2 females, one male. All were gathered outside on a front porch talking. First female saw what she assumed was a shooting star, when it suddenly stopped and began hovering she pointed it out to the second female. She then found her husband's binoculars and began focusing in on it. Because the first female had glasses she gave them to the second femal who described seeing one side lit up looking like fire with a round shape on the top right portion. Male was then called over and confirmed what second female saw and they then filled him in on what they had saw before his arrival. All three then began seeing helicopters fly in that direction and circle the object until it was no longer visible.
