Sphere over Ayer/Harvard, MA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was westbound on rte 2, somewhere between exit 39 and 37, when I saw three slow moving reddish orange orbs traveling north. At first I thought thy were planes or helicopters because this is an area it's not unusual to see air traffic. Typically when I have seen a red light in the sky, it's blinking and as I get closer I can see it has a white light and is a plane which as what I thought these were at first but these were different the were completely orangeish red and the didn't blink the pulsed never going completely off. They were far enough away that they were a bit blurry, so I couldn't tell if they were orbs or another shape and the glow made theme appear to be orbs As I got closer to them I could see sky between them so I think they were three separate craft rather than one large triangular ones. At one point, as I got closer to them, one of the orbs in the back pulled away and moved in front of the first orb. As I started to lose sight of them, as I was between exit 38 and 37, I looked to my left and saw what looked to be three more coming up from behind some trees, but I couldn't see them for more then a couple seconds, when my exit came up. I never heard any sound and if they had been helicopters I would have.

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.
