Sphere over Pittsburg, NH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Orange circular object seeming quite close and large. Very bright. It moved eastward and then changed directions back to the west before appearing to pick up speed and gain altitude. The light dimmed and shortly disappeared. There was no sound whatsoever. It was a family camping trip in which the entire family watched the event unfold. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides little contact information. PD
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #121796). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
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.
