Sphere over Summer Lake, OR
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We were fishing Ana Reservoir and camping for one night, when I looked to the east and saw two bright orange orbs rotating around each other. By the time I got the attention of my friend, there was only one orb left. The light from this object was unlike any one would typically see from stars, satellites, or aircraft. It was very bright and had a glow all around it. This orb then appeared and disappeared erratically, moved incredible distances (20 miles or more) in seconds, and moved through the partly scattered clouds for about 45 minutes. An estimated distance to the object would be 30 miles based on the clouds it was near. This experience was awesome and now the second time my friends and I have seen objects that defy common physics and technological limitations we face on earth.

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.
