Sphere over MA

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

The report, as filed

I had been seeing an amber object in the sky for many months that did not fit the description of any aircraft. It is in the Western sky every night at around 20:00 when I go outside. A couple weeks ago, I noticed that it was moving in no special pattern and not moving very far. It would descend to the left, hover, then ascend upward to the right. Other movements could be seen, also. No matter which way it moved, the view did not change. It didn't tip or bank to ascend or descend. This object (no pictures) could be described to be in the shape of a sphere with a tail (or part of the craft) that comes from the orb in a downward 45% angle to the left. The tail is a bit narrower than the orb and about twice as long as it's diameter. A couple hours later it has moved toward the Northern sky and sometimes appears bright white. I have shown my fiancee, my daughter, grandson and our neighbor. We are all in agreement to it's actions. One night the object had moved extremely high in the sky to where it looked half it's size. Two nights ago, I noticed a second one moving in the same manner in the North and then a bit later a third to the Northeast. When I go to work in the morning at 05:00, I see one of most of the way to work (25 miles). It is impossible to tell the size of these objects because I have no way of telling how far away they are. These are readily visible every night the sky is clear. This is not a one time viewing.

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.

MA

I was cooking on the grill on my back porch. As I turned to grab something off the table something caught my eye in the sky. I noticed off to the east a solid black cylindrical object at roughly 500 ft. As I watched this I noticed it had no wings, no tail and was completely silent heading off to the west. I watched this object for about 5 seconds.

MA

So Saturday, we are sitting in the porch smoking a cigarette.. And all of a sudden I look up into the sky and see this red ball flying super fast. I stared yelling, "What is that, what is that. It seemed as if someone threw a softball in the air ans it caught on fire. We go out the porch to see. Thinking maybe a shooting star. I opened up the camera in my phone to take a picture of it. Thinking how amazing i was able to capture a shooting star. It had been coming in very fast but then it just stops in mid air. Then started to move extremely slow. Till it disappeared. So we figure it aint a plane for sure must be a shooting star. But in doubt we make our wishes anyways. We go back in ans later explaining to my son and husband. We decide to zoom in on the picture. We were shocked and amazed. And more amazing that I caught a pic of it. But when we put it close it wasnt a star. If not something scary but what I dont know. It was a huge ball of what seems to be fire. So right then we knew it was impossible to be a shooting star. What could this be? U be the judge but make it closer. I didn't even know how to explain it. Maybe a meteor or a little asteroid.
