Sphere over Waverly, AL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I heard a loud rumble like a fighter jet flying low. I went to the front door and saw a bright light moving slowly increasing speed. It was what appeared to be a jet wit tracking lights off until both craft got near northern horizon. The aircraft turned its lights on as it got close to the orb of changing orange and wellow light.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #122980). 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.
