Sphere over Eden, VT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I know it wasn't a plane cause a few flew over with their standard red and green lights and the sound of jet engines. Jola (my wife) was inside the house and I was calling out for her, but for some reason she couldn't hear me even though most of the windows were open. I ran inside to call her as a witness calling out to her and she still didn't hear me (almost like my voice was muted). I grabbed her camera and snapped these photos. I'm not tech savvy, so I don't know how to zoom them in. You'll have to do it manually. This is exactly what I've been seeing for the last couple of years and I FINALLY got pictures!!! I saw a large bright "orb" but the pictures tell another story almost like it was alive!! I would say it was approximately 5,000 to 8,000 feet above. Even though I zoomed in the pictures still came back small. I am sending pictures via email.

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.
